Reassigned to BH The original reporter of this was being extra nice. For professional documents we must have a way to show change bars without the inserted/deleted text. I submit that this is not an enhancement request. This feature worked in previous versions of StarOffice and has been around since ancient versions of Word. The suggested workaround is not a workaround at all, because it doesn't always work (as it was clearly admitted in the post). The fix to this is simple: On the Options/Text-Document/Changes dialog, either add a display attribute of [Hidden] to each change type, or make [None] really mean what it says and display nothing. Please please please. This is important for your business users. Expanding on this a little bit, I'd like to see separate change settings for editing and printing. For example, I may want to see the deletions while I edit, but I want them to be invisible when I print. Ditto the colored text. It would be nice not to have to change the settings back and forth every time you print. I support this feature being supported. Marking the changed text in documents by changebars is standard at my workplace, and has been available in MS Word and FrameMaker for some time. This is a duplicate of Issue 56006. I just tested this issue with OOo 3.1.0 Writer and it still remains unresolved. However, I think the suggestion given under Issue 56006 by me on Tue Oct 18 17:56:16 +0000 2005 as to how to resolve the problem is more precise that that given above by dan_higgins Thu Aug 19 22:07:59 +0000 2004. Please resolve this issue, it is still a problem for my organization as we must submit documents to customers that are clearly readable by customers (no strikethroughs and underlines but with change bars), which is still not possible with OOo Writer. Our workaround is to use Microsoft Word for such documents, which is not a satisfactory solution. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". This issue is being a "no go" in our transition to OOo. This issue is a "must have" in our office, as it is used to control reports. The way suggested by dan_higgins looks more reasonable than the one proposed by dlanderson in issue 56006, as he/she mentions only deleted texts, and this option shall be available to all types of modifications. Hi there, Can you please address this issue. It has been around for nearly 9 years and we can still not hide deleted text. Because of this, we still use Microsoft products, which are costly and really annoying to use. |
