Replacing the text should be easy, also stripping the metadata. Replacing the images might be a bit harder, perhaps creating an empty image or metafile of the same size and replacing the embedded one is possible through direct file access. Another approach is replacing embedded images by links (to anywhere). I assume that the document should behave as before even with the broken links. The problem is: what else needs to be exchanged, what is really necessary and what's just paranoia? So we need a complete list and we need to dicuss what needs to be on it. As an example, why do you mean that color and style names need to be replaced? > As most bugs happen on complex documents, most complex documents are > created in corp-space and corporations don't like disseminating internal > info for debugging purposes I suppose I'm far from the only one with > knowledge of bugs but no way to report them. Yes, I totally agree. We could get much more (and better) bug documents and of course that would be fine. I thought about such a macro by myself some time ago but I just didn't have the time to write one. If we assembled a list together perhaps someone familiar with macros could do the job. It would be a very valuable contribution as it would help to improve the quality of OOo.
