Libreoffice Calc cannot load color list?

[psychokiller]

I was trying to load a color list (files with .soc) extension in Calc but didn’t find any button to load (or save whatsoever) in the Tools/Options/Colors dialog box.

Buttons to save and load color list are available in Draw, Impress and even Writer, but I did not manage to find them in Calc.

Any Help?

TIA

This is how to change the default palette for all Apps within LO/OO4 (though you will need to get down & a little dirty):

1. Create and/or beg/steal/borrow a suitable palette of colours stored as a .soc file
2. Close down LO/OO + the Quickstarter
3. Go to your profile
4. Under config are a number of palettes (*.soc files)
   
   eg /path/to/user/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config/standard.soc
5. config/standard.soc is the default palette for all Apps
6. Rename config/standard.soc to config/standard.soc.old
7. Move/Rename your-palette.soc to config/standard.soc
   
   The next time that you start LO/OO it will now use your own palette.

Extra 1: The LO/OO3 palette has a different format to the LO/OO4 palette file.

Extra 2: The LO/OO4 palette file is plain text (text/xml).

Extra 3: There are also presets loaded on installation, and used for initialisation + profile reset. This is under Debian 6.0:

$ file -ib /opt/libreoffice4.4/presets/config/standard.soc
application/xml; charset=utf-8

Hi

To load a color list in Calc:

• Draw a shape (rectangle, etc.)
• Right-click the shape, then Area, Colors tab, click Load color list
