You can save OOo documents into one single XML file. Together with "pretty printing" enabled that's the only reasonable way to use a VCS for OOo documents because then you have text files and can create diffs. > Why shouldn't the version control systems be able to handle zipped > files directly?

But anyway at least currently there is no VCS with this ability. > OTOH, I don't want to see the differences in the xml. I want the > differences to be visible in Writer. Then the change tracking inside the OOo document is exactly what you need, or the versioning system together with the "compare versions" functionality. I know you said you want it outside the document - but at least ATM you can't have everything. ;-) > A bit of both would be to use subversion as is, and then use a > diff-program that produce the same result as I expect "File > > Versions" to produce. > > Is there such a diff function included in OOo?
