Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 42020
Option to Make characters transparent in Outline Effect
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:07 UTC
In OOo 1.1 Writer a user can apply Outline effect for formatting characters through option Format -> Character -> Font Effects -> Outline. Once user has applied this effect character are shown using outlines, but they are Solid/Opaque (With White color) Please refer attached file Opaque_Characters.PNG On the other hand, if word is used for the same kind of effect, than resulting characters are Transparent. A user can see the background through them. Refer attached file Transparent_Characters.PNG. Here are few suggestions for OOo writer - * Ability to make Characters Transparent (New Option) * Ability to make Characters Opaque (Already there) * Ability to Change Inside color, if the Character is Opaque (Enhancement) Can OOo users have these options?

reassigned to requirements. Currently, the "inner" area of outline characters are displayed white. For better compatibility with competitor there should be the mentioned option at least.
Please have a look at the attachment “Character_Formatting.png”. Professional DTP packages offer this kind of character formatting. Can OOo move in this direction?

Attachment Character_Formatting2.png depicts some more character effects present in publication tools. Can they be included in *All* components of OOo like Impress, Draw, Chart etc, apart from word processor? Perhaps OOo should think beyond MSO.
