Is there a way to change the background color of a slide in OpenOffice.org Impress using hexadecimal values?

I was wondering if it was possible to actually specify the color using the hexadecimal notation?

Answer 1

Sort of. You need to add a color to the list. Select Format -> Area, then seldect the Color tab. You can enter color as RGB (0 to 255) or CMYK.

It's pretty easy to convert the 0 - 255 decimal values to hex.
