(testing on Ubuntu 12.04.1 with LO 3.5.4.2)
To change the color of text:
- Open LO Impress
- Click “Next”, “Next”, etc… then “Create” to get past the powerful Wizard in your path.
- You should be on a blank slide. In the right-hand pane, under “Layouts”, choose the template named “Title Slide”
- If you hover over the template, the words “Title Slide” will appear as a tooltip
- Click where it says “Click to add title”, and add a fun title. I chose “My Awesome Slide”
- Use Ctrl-a or your mouse/trackpad to highlight the title text
- Open the Text toolbar by selecting from the menu: View → Toolbars → Text
- Click the “Font Color” button on the Text toolbar and select a color for your text.
- Tip: You can change the color of just a word or two in the text by selecting just those characters/words you wish to change
Update: @jeremiah writes:
the Text toolbar button “Font Color” fails to actually work. The text color does not change when the steps from qubit are followed.
Jeremiah – if this is the case, please file a bug about this problem, and provide a list of steps that can reproduce it. Feel free to steal my list above
