Color palette in OpenOffice Writer

How to load another color palette (*.soc file) in OpenOffice Writer?

• It took me some time but I found the answer finally. I do not know if there is a more intuitive way of changing the colour palette than this one.

  You have to add a shape from Drawing Toolbox. Then right-click on that shape and click "Area...". Switch to the "Colour" tab where you will find a tiny button that can be used to load a colour palette (see image: http://czuk.eu/external_images/oo_colour_palette.png). What is funny, this icon does not appear in any other form with colours.
