I found a solution: 1) Print to postscript file the comments only 2) open the postscript file with abiword (libreoffice is not working) and save it as e.g. doc There it is. I think it would be a good idea for these usage scenarios, to have the option to *export* the comments to a new .odt file for further processing. Cheers, Rainer - -- Rainer M.
