Hi :) Lol. Why all this change of direction? and why did this suddenly occur moments AFTER Jean left for a couple of weeks?
Ignoring the advice of legal experts based on a quick read of a children's fairy story does not make any sense to me. From a quick google search http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._TomTom http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._TomTom_%282008,_USA%29 MS sued a company for using fat32, not even the more advanced Ntfs, and won. Fat32 is pretty much the standard system used by the vast majority of people on external storage devices. Being unaware of court actions and being unaware of the strategy MS uses (such as buying-up software patents) does not make us safe from those issues. It would be really paranoid to think that Gary might be an MS employee but he is using fairly standard tactics that would normally be designed by a competitor to disrupt a community-led group.

It contains edit tracking of the changes so far, plus some comments that were inserted via the Insert menu. You can then see how an edited version of a document should appear. My defaults for edit tracking are to employ green underlines for additions, red strike-throughs for deletions, and bold blue for most format changes. Some format changes do not show up in the edit changes with LO or OOo. So, for those that do not appear, an editor should employ comments, which will appear at the right side of the document. Some of those untracked changes are those involved with vertical table alignment, for example. In the event you want to move material around in a document being edited, plus use edit-tracking on a moved paragraph, entire subsection, or whatever, there are two ways to do that. (1) Employ two versions of the document, with edit tracking employed in each document--make the edits in the first, and afterward move the material in the second document. (2) The second means is to turn off edit tracking for the moves and afterward restore edit tracking again. Then, use comments to describe just what got moved and from where. The point to remember is that if you move content after it was edit tracked, the move will destroy the edit-tracked changes (accepts them, by default). That may not be desirable. I generally park things being worked on in one or another of my (mostly way incomplete) forum websites. The forums serve as chronicles of sorts, so that I know where the stuff was parked, plus copious notes and such in topic messages. Also, anybody (registered...) could comment on them, although I generally do not make notice much of any forum, other than an e-mail signature or rare explicit links from e-mails. The revised template was parked there recently, and can be accessed at: LO templates <http://technicaleditor.livernoisyard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=56>, where the template and its AutoText BAU file can be downloaded.
