[libreoffice-users] Table background colours in 5.3

Hi.
Just adding this in case another user has come across this situation.

In LO 5.3.3 Writer I found I could not change the palette or edit any 
colours in Table>Properties>Background. The only choices were from a set 
palette (later found to be named named standard.soc)
Some searching and it is an issue with 5.3+ being worked through.
The colours available from the palette were not suitable and I wished to 
change a kaky Brown to light green.

I found with a file search on my machine the LO install placed 
standard.soc in /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/palette/standard.soc
Opening the text file I saw my there was no Brown but also found I had 
another standard.soc ~/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/config/standard.soc
This did contain the kaky Brown. This file is 3 years old and as I have 
done 4 distribution updates in that time I can't be sure where it came 
from, but on an install of LO5.3 on a new machine the file is not in 
~/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/config/

I found by copying a palette to 
~/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/config/ and naming it standard.soc I 
could edit the file and change colours (in simple RGB hex) or add a new 
colour at the end of the file to have a colour I wanted available in 
Writer tables. This new changed palette will also become the standard 
palette for you in other areas of LO. You could of course edit 
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/palette/standard.soc but that will change 
the palette for all users and require root privileges.
