If you have sent the same text to multiple editors and the only changes made to each copy are recorded changes, you can do this by opening one document and then using Edit | Changes | Merge Documents... multiple times to merge each of the other documents.

Without this password, the various editors will not be able to disable change recording, so all the edited documents will come back in a state where the above technique will work. I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Copy / Paste - Include Recorded Changes?
Hi All, Is there a way for me to copy a bunch of stuff htat has recorded changes from one document and paste to another document including the changes? A regular copy paste seems to just copy the actual text, not the changes at all.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Copy / Paste - Include Recorded Changes?
If you (1) highlight the area you wish to copy, then (2) copy it; then (3) place your marker on the area, at the exact location, you wish this new data to go, then (4) the formatting should be transferred to the newly pasted data.

A regular copy paste seems to just copy the actual text, not the changes at all. Best, Joel When I copy text that contains recorded changes and them paste it into another document, the changes made to the original document are pasted. The original text is not copied. Some text as an example: The sly_red_ /silver/ fox jumped over the lazy brown dog. (_red_ indicates that this word has been deleted./silver/ indicates that this word has been added.) When I copy and paste this sentence in a LibreOffice text document, I get: The sly silver fox jumped over the lazy brown dog. The things that I have added are copied and pasted. The things which I had deleted are not copied and pasted. --Dan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It seems like this may be impossible which is unfortunate - time for a feature request perhaps.
