Are you using any kind of version control system (like subversion or cvs)? If so then you should be able to use it to handle merging the XML from these two documents. There are a number of free tools that can help you with the merge. The one I use most often is a plugin for Eclipse.

Hope this helps,

i have a situation where I  have 'master' openoffice document.

this document is sent to two (or more) different people in 'record changes'
mode.

the two people edit their copies of the document, but different parts of it
(by that i
mean they dont make changes that overlap...)

the two documents are sent back - and merged into the 'master' openoffice
document.

i found the 'merge docs' and 'compare docs' functionality in OO, but it
works only for merging
one document into another - and NOT for merging more than one document into
one composite document.

I found many examples online of merging one xml document with another - but
few when it came to merging
more than one xml document into one composite document.....

My questions are these:
- is what I am planning feasible given the track changes implementation of
ODF...?
- Is there something already out there that does it for ODF/ODT...? (which
i may have missed...)
