--- 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.
