Here a detailed description of my experience with a macro using ParaBackColor. There are a few aspects not mentioned here so far. 1) After applying the macro on a selection (e.g. one ore two paragraphs) the background color is changed apparently as desired. (2) However, if I open the paragraph format dialog > Area (with the cursor in one of the involved paragraphs), the activated option is None! (3) If I do the same change manually, the activated option is Color, and the New field shows the new color (completely as expected). (4) If I save the file as odt or fodt, the color change made by macro is lost. (5) If I save the file as doc, and open this doc, the new background color is shown, but the result is as described in (2). Not only for a paragraph changed by macro, but also for a paragraph changed manually!!! If I save the file again as doc, this behavior continues. If I save it as odt, both changes are lost. (6) In rtf the background color is preserved correctly (in both cases, macro/manually). (The only difference is that the text is not displayed white on red but black on red.) Gerhard, do you know a workaround to change the paragraph background color by a macro using another method?
