Perhaps check that: Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > View > Display > Comments is enabled?Also Edit > Changes > Show might have some effect on comments from a Word document? I think in Word visibility of comments and tracked changes are toggled together by the same option. Not sure if that would carry over to a Word document opened in LibreOffice though...

Hi :) ] Weird! Have you been able to try another document to see if that now works, ie if LO just needed a nudge before it works for all? If that is all solved now that would be great but if each document needs to be nudged in the same way that could be really painful! (and probably easier to report as bug because it's less like an intermittent bug) I imagine the "track changes" tools is good when everyone is using the same version of MS Word or when everyone is using non-MS. The rest of the time it might be easier just to use the "compare documents" approach instead. I vaguely remember someone saying that track changes was more elegant and sophisticated but obviously only when it works!

Last night I opened the SAME document for about the 4th or 5th time, and suddenly the comments started showing up in LO as they should... So, there still is something going on, but it's not like LO is losing them. I'll experiment with this and see if I can nail it sufficiently to report it. *Rogier Fentener van Vlissingen <http://viz.me/vliscony/t/7>* *About Me <http://about.me/vliscony>* On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 4:09 PM, Tom Davies <tomcecf@gmail.com> wrote:Hi :) Good point. There is a feature for comparing 2 different documents, orthesame document stored in 2 different folders. That gives all the red writing like "track changes" does in Word, or does something to show the differences and those can be accepted, rejecte or left til later. However i thought the "comments" were a bit different from that? Ithoughtit was the sort of thing teachers used to do to my essay to show where i had missed the point or been astute Regards from Tom :) On 20 August 2014 18:35, Felmon Davis <davisf@union.edu> wrote:fellows, sorry for the bad form of not quoting the thread! won't happen again! very, very obvious thing to check but maybe worth mentioning: doesn'tonehave to check something called 'changes' or whatever (don't have the program here) to see comments?
