Changing the colour of Text
Click the Font colour icon in Writer and other modules, and keep the mouse button pressed
to obtain a floating toolbar from which to choose from the range of colours.
Font colour (Writer)
Font colour (other modules)
The following applies to all modules (Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress): Select the text that is to
take another colour, then click the colour wanted on the floating toolbar.
Note: Only in Writer: If one confirms the symbol with a short-click while no text is selected, then the mouse pointer
changes its appearance and is displayed as a paint can pouring. Use this paint can pouring symbol with the mouse
key pressed to drag across a text area. This text area takes the selected colour. The function remains active for as
long as the symbol is “pressed”, or until clicked without dragging, or until the
Esc
key is pressed.
