To do this:
1. Select the desired text.
2. Invoke the command Format > Character.
3. Switch to the Font property sheet.
You can now select the desired color for the text from the Text color list box.
Tip: The text color can also be changed using the color list in the Formatting
toolbar. Click on this list, which is situated to the right of the size list, and
select the desired color.
You can also specify a background color for the text using the Background color
list box. By default, text has a transparent background. If you select a color for
the background, the text will appear against this color – similar to being marked
with a highlighter.
If none of the existing colors suits you, you can always compose your own colors.
To do this, click on “Define color...”, the last item in the color list (see section
“Document properties, Colors property sheet” beginning on page 526).
Superscripts and subscripts
You can position text above or below the baseline and in this way create a superscript
(e.g. r 2 ) or subscript (e.g. H 2 O).
Simply select the text, invoke the command Format > Character, switch to the
Spacing property sheet and check the Superscript or Subscript check box.
If you wish, you can specify the amount of offset above or below the baseline by
entering a percentage in the Position edit box. In addition, you can specify the size
reduction to be applied to the superscripted or subscripted text by entering a
percentage in the Size edit box. For example, if you want a subscript to be the same
size as adjoining normal text, you can specify 100 percent.
Tip: Keyboard shortcuts are available for super- and subscripts as follows:
(Ctrl)(Shiftª)(Num+) (the plus key located on the numeric pad) for superscript,
(Ctrl)(Shiftª)(Num-) for subscript and (Ctrl)(Shiftª)(Num*) to remove a super- or
subscript.
