as the problem usually is with word documents, how could oo.org macro remove text without changing anything else ?



Not *removing* but *replacing*, perhaps with keeping the number of characters in every text portion.

As an example, if your text is

"This is a very secret text!"

the macro could replace it by

"xxxx xx x xxxx xxxxxx xxxx!"

but all formatting attributes would stay untouched.

Of course this will change the layout a little bit (except when you are
using a fixed width font of course), but hopefully most of the bugs will
not go away.

Best regards,

Robert Derman replies: Perhaps somewhere there is a statistic that tells which of the 26 letters is closest to being the average width of all the others, weighted for average frequency of use. It seems that this would be the logical starting point if something like this is done.
