This behavior would only be possible if for some reason the Save from LibreOffice was leaving the change-tracking information in the document as if it had not been saved after the changes were accepted/rejected, etc.
If the changes have been accepted, there is no reason for them to appear in the document taken to Microsoft Word. (LO and the ODF document format do not have a way to retain the unapproved form of approved changes in saved documents.) When you open the document that Microsoft Office still sees change-tracking in directly in LibreOffice, does LO also still see the change-tracking (once it is made visible if previously made not visible)? Finally, since I am a wannabe change-tracking wonk, can you make a small LibreOffice demonstration document that you believe change tracking has been removed from by accepting and rejecting the changes as desired, so there are no tracked changes left? Save it as ODT first, not just DOC or DOCX. Then save it as the form taken to Microsoft Word. I will be happy to examine the situation more closely with you. - Denis -----Original Message----- From: Rogier F. van Vlissingen [mailto:vlisc...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2012 18:25 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Word incompatibilities with changes and comments So quite apparently, the problem is in MSW2007, where it opens the files to the last version prior to the changes, and you then have to deliberately display the final version, and the only way to get a clean version in MSW2007 is apparently to accept the changes there. I've now tried it a few times, but MSW2007 stubbornly keeps opening up docs in which all changes were accepted in LibreOffice (and I just went to 3.5), to display showing markup, which you then have to either switch off, or accept all the changes in order to display a clean version in MSW2007. In a collaboration like I'm having it means that in practice I must accept the changes twice, once in LO, and then once again in MSW2007, before I hand it off to colleagues using MSW2007 On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 7:56 PM, Brian Barker <b.m.bar...@btinternet.com>wrote: > At 19:33 19/02/2012 -0500, Rogier F. van Vlissingen wrote: > >> During a book project where some are using LibreOffice and some are using >> MSWord, we're noticing that if corrections are processed in Libre office >> 3.4.4 and the file looks totally clean, when you open it up in Word, they >> are still there, and you end up having to delete them a second time. >> > > What settings are you using for tracking changes?
