--- Comment #10 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> 2012-05-07 08:18:41 PDT ---
Testing with MS Office 2010 (Word 2010) on Windows 7, both German UI, I get the
following results:

* I can't open the original sample document 'Changes.odt' at all; just like
Sasha in comment #6 told for Word 2007, Word just complains that it can't open
that file. This is correct and NOT a bug, especially not a bug in LibreOffice:
MS Office just can't read ODF 1.2 files, and the original sample document is a
ODF 1.2 file, see my comment #7. (I don't know how the original reported
managed to open his sample .odt file with Word 2007 at all ;-)

* But I can open my copy of the sample document, saved again as ODF 1.1 (!)
file with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, without any problems! I will attach a screenshot
to show how my copy of the sample file looks in MS Word 2010. For me it looks
*exactly* like the original sample document 'Changes.odt' looks in LibreOffice:
all text changes are applied. Fine! So I can't reproduce the problem the
original report was about.

* At the moment, I can't get Word 2010 to display the recorded textual changes
en detail, it just shows the result of all changes, but for two reasons this is
a minor issue. First, the main problem the original report was about is gone:
the final version of the text is displayed, not some intermediate version.
Second, this may be indeed a problem with MS Word; maybe it is just not able to
show recorded changes in ODF files. Some MS Word expert may tell us, not me.

Results:
If I don't miss some very minor but important point (then please tell me!),
this issue is NOT A BUG at all. It is just a misunderstanding. MS Office 2007
and 2010 are able to open ODF files (.odt for text, .ods for spreadsheets
etc.), but just ODF version 1.0/1.1 files, not the up-to-date ODF version 1.2
or 1.2 extended files. Therefore, if you want to exchange text documents with
MS Office applications in ODF file format, you have to change your LibreOffice
application preferences to use the old ODF 1.0/1.1 file format instead of 1.2
or 1.2 extended (see comment #5). That's it ;-)

I take the liberty to close this bug as RESOLVED/NOTABUG. Feel free to re-open
it if this issue is still a problem for you, but then please explain carefully
why it is still a problem, i.e. what I missed about it ;-)
