At the right side of the tool bar there's an icon that is an 'a' with red, green, and blue circles, click on the down arrow to the right of that and you can select the font colour to use.

Hi mayan

This was a description for OO 3. But I guess it's the same in OO 2.4. If you like to install OO 3, use the following link:

http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-openoffice-3.0.0-on-ubuntu-8.04

The installation is very simple and you will also get the desktop icons in Applications > Office.
