Re: [libreoffice-users] Proofreading problems...

Perhaps check that: Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > View > Display > Comments is enabled? Also Edit > Changes > Show might have some effect on comments from a Word document? I think in Word visibility of comments and tracked changes are toggled together by the same option. Not sure if

Re: [libreoffice-users] Proofreading problems...

Hi :) ] Weird! Have you been able to try another document to see if that now works, ie if LO just needed a nudge before it works for all? If that is all solved now that would be great but if each document needs to be nudged in the same way that could be really painful! (and probably easier to re

It just got funnier. Last night I opened the SAME document for about the 4th or 5th time, and suddenly the comments started showing up in LO as they should... So, there still is something going on, but it's not like LO is losing them. I'll experiment with this and see if I can nail it sufficiently

Re: [libreoffice-users] Proofreading problems...

Hi :) Tbh i am not sure. The 4.3.0 made it easier to cope with comments on slide-shows (i think) but i'm not sure if that would help with comments from Word. Which format do they use? Is is DocX or the older Doc? If it's DocX then do you know what version of MS Office they need you to use to be

Ever since version 4.0 I have not been able to use LibreOffice interchangeably with others who are using word in proofreading projects. LibreOffice continues to strip out the comments in a .doc file completely, so I am forced to using MSWord. What gives? *Rogier Fentener van Vlissingen
