------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 22 11:42:01 -0800 2006 ------- >From the OpenOffice.org Writer Help Using Master Documents and Subdocuments To export a master document as a OpenOffice.org text document: 1.Choose File - Export. 2.In the File format list, select a text document file format and click Export. Notice that there is no mention that the resulting ODT file from the ODM file becomes a Section that is inserted as a Link and that the section is Write Protected. At the very least, the help instructions should note explain this to prevent confusion to thousands of users like me and my employees. Similarly, apparently there is nothing in OpenOffice.org Writer Help that discusses how to edit Linked documents from within an ODT document. Note: The procedure given by es' in response to srhoades' statement that "It looks like the only way to really get an edited single doc from a master document is to..." didn't result in a single editable ODT document as srhoades wanted. So, still apparently the only method of getting single merged ODT file from an ODM file is to export the ODM file to an ODT file and then unchecking both the Link and Protected boxes in the Edit Sections dialog works for each Section corresponding to the ODM sub-document files. So, similarly, there is nothing in OpenOffice.org Writer Help that describes the procedure given by to get an editable single merged ODT file from an ODM file. Unless OpenOffice.org likes disgruntled users, I suggest that this issue be reopened so that OpenOffice.org Help can be improved to resolve the above issues. This would be a positive response to feedback from users. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
