The thread has prompted me to put up a couple of long-overdue
enhancement requests:
124791 - drag & drop icons
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124791
124794 - a toolbar icon for every command.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124794
'Record' is not very obvious. It might be worth considering putting up
one suggesting changing the 'icon' to 'track changes' or better,
Robert Funnell's icon.

I do NOT find any icon for your "Track Changes" feature; please
advise how
I create or customize such an icon. Actually, it could be very
helpful to
have it on the toolbar. Thank you so much for your time!
Ivan, please be sure to review the chapter Dave refers to. The link

specific chapter is

As regards drag and drop to tool bar, it is likely that is a
reference to
the customization process.
Select "View | Toolbars | Customize..." from the menu.
The "Customize" dialog opens prepared for editing the Standard
toolbar. If
the "Add..." button is clicked an "Add Commands" dialog appears with
two
list boxes, "Category" and "Commands". Entries in the "Commands"
list box
can be dragged into the "Toolbar Content Commands" list box of the
"Customize" dialog.
The drag and drop doesn't happen directly onto the toolbar in
Writer. It is
done between the "Add Commands" and "Customize" dialog boxes.
The commands for revision marking are found in two categories in the
"Add
Commands" dialog.
In the "Add Commands" dialog select "View" from the "Category" list
and
then find "Show" on the "Commands" list. Add that to the desired
toolbar by
drag and drop or by using the "Add" button.
The other revision marking commands will be found by selecting
"Edit" from
the "Category" list. The relevant commands that are now available in
the
"Commands" list are "Accept Change", "Accept or Reject", "Protect
Records",
"Record" and finally "Reject Change".
None of these commands has a default icon so you will need to select
your
own icon for each so the button isn't just a flat gray box on the
modified
toolbar.
