I gave my mom OO to use since her computer doesn't have MS Office, and she
needs to work with a .doc file to submit a book to Lulu.com for editing.
When she opened the edited .doc she got back from the editor, with changes
marked and the option supposed to be made individually to keep what the
editor suggested or what she originally had, every time she presses the
delete key anywhere in the document it just strikes through the text. She
wants the text to be completely deleted, not struk through, and saving the
document isn't deleting the struck through text. When I've made my own
documents in Writer, delete and backspace don't strike through the text,
but
just delete it. How do I fix it so she stops getting the strike-through?
Also, we copied and pasted text from individual .doc files for her chapters
to make one big .doc file, and the text that was pasted all became green
and
underlined. I'm having trouble undoing that too.
This is a very important feature of OO called "change tracking". When a
document is edited by multiple people, change tracking lets you know
additions and deletions to the document that different authors made.
