Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with Track Changes

Yes, that's the problem I've had.  Glad it wasn't just me missing something
obvious!

I've stumbled into a workaround that seems to have given me back access to
accept / reject changes.  I downloaded the document to a stick, opened it
in MS Word in a different PC, which allowed me to make changes.  Then saved
it back to the stick.  When I reopened it on my laptop in Libre Office, and
now have some access.  Sufficient for me to complete my work on the
document.

I have know idea why this works, or if it will continue.  I would like to
disable tracking entirely for this document, but I cannot find any option
to do this.  And having got some functionality back, I'm hesitant to mess
with it any further!

Many thanks.
