Kruno, thank you for your input. Unfortunately, that isn't really an
option. Any editor I've worked with would lose their minds having to
manage a separate document for each chapter. On top of that, considering
neither Apple Pages or MS Office has no problem with this, I'd like to
think the LO developers could resolve such an issue. A work around for a
long document with comments shouldn't be necessary.
