RE: [libreoffice-users] Word incompatibilities with changes and comments

This behavior would only be possible if for some reason the Save from LibreOffice was leaving the 
change-tracking information in the document as if it had not been saved after the changes were 
accepted/rejected, etc.  

If the changes have been accepted, there is no reason for them to appear in the document taken to 
Microsoft Word.  (LO and the ODF document format do not have a way to retain the unapproved form of 
approved changes in saved documents.)

When you open the document that Microsoft Office still sees change-tracking in directly in 
LibreOffice, does LO also still see the change-tracking (once it is made visible if previously made 
not visible)?

Finally, since I am a wannabe change-tracking wonk, can you make a small LibreOffice demonstration 
document that you believe change tracking has been removed from by accepting and rejecting the 
changes as desired, so there are no tracked changes left?  Save it as ODT first, not just DOC or 
DOCX.  Then save it as the form taken to Microsoft Word.  I will be happy to examine the situation 
more closely with you.

So quite apparently, the problem is in MSW2007, where it opens the files to
the last version prior to the changes, and you then have to deliberately
display the final version, and the only way to get a clean version in
MSW2007 is apparently to accept the changes there.

I've now tried it a few times, but MSW2007 stubbornly keeps opening up docs
in which all changes were accepted in LibreOffice (and I just went to 3.5),
to display showing markup, which you then have to either switch off, or
accept all the changes in order to display a clean version in MSW2007.

In a collaboration like I'm having it means that in practice I must accept
the changes twice, once in LO, and then once again in MSW2007, before I
hand it off to colleagues using MSW2007
