Bug Description
Libreoffice has very poor default style settings, such as headings, colours, font selections etc. We need to get these fixed to make it a better, easier to work with application.
Part of the Ubuntu offering is about excellent defaults, so this really needs doing.
I think there are 3 things that need particular attention:
Default heading styles - the style of headings is particularly poor, with strange size, font and style choices
Default font - I haven't checked precise, but this of course needs to be the Ubuntu font
Default colours for drawing objects: that light blue is hideous, we need to choose something more modern, more professional, more Ubuntu.
I am sure there are more to be done, but perhaps people can report separate bugs for them or add in the comments.

Jussi Schultink, thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http:// www.ubuntu. com/support/ community/ mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.
