Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress: Default color for text is white

Dan,
Thanks for your answer, but, frankly, it's not useful at all. I'm
asking a very specific
question, thus answering with such a general advise is like telling
"learn how to use a gps"
to somebody who is asking you the directions to the closest hospital.
I can't believe changing the default color is so difficult in
Libreoffice. Back to Powerpoint.
