When I create a new rectangle from the Drawing toolbar in OpenOffice Impress 3.4.1, it has really ugly formatting (line color, line width, and fill color). I believe I inadvertently changed the default formatting for the shape. How do I change the formatting to a style I like better?



FWIW, the way to do it in PowerPoint is to right-click on an object whose format you like and select "Set as Default Shape".

Tested on Ubuntu, Libre Office 6.2.4. In order to change the (default) style of existing objects:




  1. Display styles (F11 or Format/Styles/Manage styles...)


  2. Select the shape


  3. Double click the new style to be set on the shape




I believe that a single click instead of the double would be much more intuitive and in my opinion the current behavior has to be a bug... Anyway, that's what worked for me now.
