Dear Sir
I have a suggestion. There exists in OO the ability to track changes
and that's fine because it does the same as MSOffice. But no product I
know of does what is actually wanted in business:
When we typed specifications and documents all paragraphs that were
altered put the revision number inside a triangle by the paragraph -
Some businesses used to put them in the right hand margin, some in the
left hand margin.
It doesn't matter which we choose but if OO had the facility to put the
paragraph revision number identifier in the left hand margin that would
be a fantastic addition for business and legal.
A sort of versioning on paragraph-level, with a check, box or so to set
the version number or choose the version displayed ...
Sounds impressive. Rather database-like.
The track changes facility doesn't work when you print a document - it
looks a mess. If the changes are in a table the changes push the
contents of the rest of the table off the bottom edge of the page so
you can't get to them - All you want to do is show which paragraphs or
lines have been altered (and nothing more than that).
May I as which version of OOo you use? The problem with data in tables,
that is pushed off the page, was in the 1.1.x series. Is solved in 2.0.
What do you think?
