After pasting your chart into Writer, single-click the chart to make sure it’s selected.
I figured I would just manually set the proper color for each pie slice, but it’s not at all obvious how to do this simple task, and the oo help documentation isn’t that helpful. Unfortunately, when I copied and pasted the charts into Writer, Writer changed the colors! Wha? I didn’t figure this would be a huge problem, especially since when I created the charts in Calc, it gave the corresponding categories the same colors without me having to do anything. Recently I created two pie charts from similar data and I needed the colors of the pie slices to be the same for corresponding categories in each chart in other words, I had a Category A in Chart 1 and a Category A in Chart 2, and I wanted the pie chart slices for Category A to be the same color of blue in both Chart 1 and Chart 2. Typically, I’ll create a pie or bar chart in Calc, then copy and paste it into Writer (oo’s version of MS Word). As a frequent user of the OpenOffice apps, including the Calc spreadsheet (oo’s version of Excel), I occasionally need to create a chart from some of my data.
