Hi, I'm new to this forum, but have a question: I am part of a development team in an IT project,and use OpenOffice writer to write technical report occasionally. In our reports, we would like to be able to see which lines in a modified open office document have been changed, by a vertical line on the left margin next to the line(s) that have been modified, but not the actual text that has been inserted/deleted - in other words, the final text for that line only.
Example: If I have the following lines in version 1 of my document: A is for apple B is for banana C is for carrot I enable the change tracking feature in open office: edit->changes->record. I then change the word 'banana' to 'bingo' in the second line, by deleting the 'anana' bit and insert 'ingo'. I would like to see only the following: A is for apple | B is for bingo C is for carrot But if I select options->text document->changes from the open office menu option, and set every option to 'None' apart from 'lines changed' to 'left margin', I get A is for apple | B is for bingoanana C is for carrot And if I deselect the edit->changes->show option, I get the right text I wanted, but with no vertical bar in the left margin. Such a feature is available in at least the competing applications of MS Word and Adobe Framemaker, and something we find very useful in our line of work. Is there something we are doing wrong or is this a missing feature possibly? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
