Lessons learned: when changing formatting, it is probably wise to change the setting of Tools > Options > Writer > Changes Change Attributes list box. By default, it adds bolding to the changed area; if you're changing font attributes, this can be very confusing. I selected "background color", but other choices (like double-underline) are also easier to work with. This might be worth a tip somewhere in the OOWG.
AFAIK, the "change attributes" settings you choose when reviewing a document do not affect what I see when I open the doc you reviewed -- what I see depends on the attributes settings in my copy of OOo. Your tip is a good one for people receiving reviewed docs as well as for reviewers; I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself. Thanks!
When I am editing/reviewing, I work with "record changes" on, but "show changes" off. This helps me spot places where I would otherwise have missed things like empty paragraphs left behind, spaces between words accidentally deleted, or paragraph styles inadvertently changed by deleting other material.
Query: is there a use for the three old (pre-publication) versions of documents that were already in the Contributor Resources Feedback folder? If not, could somebody remove them?
Thanks for spotting those. I've removed them now. --Jean
