color of recorded changes
How does one determine / change the color used when recording changes to a writer document?
I'm working with a .docx from ms word, which I will export as a .odt.
When I turn on Edit/Changes/Record the color used (there are no others in the document) is a very difficult to see light tan/yellow.
Is there a way to assign the color used by author?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
just enter a name in /tools/options/user data/ or modify one item within
that dialog. The colors used are differentiated by user data.

Hmmm.
I saw that and realized it would let me set things in detail for each of the
different kinds of changes, but thought there would be an "easier" way.
Since it normally uses the same color for insertions, deletions, and changed
attributes when color is set to "By author," I was looking for something that
showed all authors and the color assigned to them, with a way to change that.
Thanks,
Gary

(I always set the "format change" indication to "double underline"
rather than "italics".)
