Well, that could be anything. A little copying from > the MS features would do no harm here in my opinion.
Hello Eva, I actually found the track changes feature in OOo better than the corresponding feature in MSO in the area of reviewing the changes as it allows several levels of filtering of the changes. There are indeed however two major improvements that are sorely missed: a) integration of accept/reject change in the context menu. In MSO, when right clicking on modified text, it is possible to accept or reject that particular change, something which I found very useful. b) in MSO, you can copy the text with revision marks and paste it in a different document *preserving* the revisions. I could not find a way to do it in OOo. Another little thing that I find useful in MSO is the possibility of toggling the recording of changes from the status bar (TRK). As there is currently a fair amount of free space on the status bar, it would be nice to add this information/switch. Point a) is covered in 6191 and more general enhancements can be found in 14268, 25028, 50202, 58839, 58841, 63135, 66293. Point b) is covered (partially) in 34537. My suggestion is that people who still have votes available should go on and vote for one or more of these RFEs.
