Whenever I try to modify a cell background in calc (Format>Format Cell>Background), all of the color options are set to white. How do I get the palette back?
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:202).
Try to reset the user profile!
How to reset LibreOffice user Profile?
Make sure LibreOffice is closed.
Open your home directory and Hit Ctrl+H to show the hidden files and folders.
Now navigate to /.config/libreoffice/3/user/
Rename "registrymodifications.xcu" to "registrymodifications.xcu.old".
Now start LibreOffice (Any application e.g LibreOffice Calc).
LibreOffice will automatically create a new user profile.
In case you want to restore the old user profile, Just delete the newly created "registrymodifications.xcu" and rename "registrymodifications.xcu.old" to "registrymodifications.xcu"
The palettes are located in your user profile, at .config/libreoffice3/user/config/
. Additionally, there's a set of palettes in /opt/libreoffice3.5/presets/config/
. Take a look for files ending with .soc
- all those files are palettes. I assume you will have to restore standard.soc
in your user profile.
