--- Comment #5 from dyo <[email protected]> --- I don't agree with the conclusion that Sandra Ilcus make because: 1. We are an important administration with 400 users on Oracle OpenOffice 3.3. We extensively use OOOMacros to hide and unhidde sections during the life time of the documents we produce and it is always possible that a user decide to send a document at any time either directly from OpenOffice or with a Mail client program (for ex: Thunderbird). With Oracle OpenOffice this work fine (Hidden section stay hidden section in both situation) and the document received is the same. Now we want to migrate to Apache OpenOffice 4.1 but we hesitate because of this problem. 2. It seems that Microsoft Word delete the hidden sections too (I don't test because we use open source software), so it's not a reason to make the same (wrong?) choice or it's a chance to make a better products. What about the compatibility with Oracle OpenOffice 3.3 and previous version. 3. The comparaison with PDF Export as nothing to do, a PDF is more like a print of a document that represent only what is visible on the screen. I don't even know if hidden parts can exist in a PDF document. So in that case it's normal that hidden part don't becomes visible in a PDF. 4. I think the solution with a checkbox option (with defaut "Delete hidden section: YES) is the good one for all with respect of the choice made by Apache somewhere between version 3.3 and 3.4. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
