John, thanks for taking the time to post this issue. If my understanding of OOo is correct, Master Documents are like Templates in Word. It seems reasonable to assume that all Master Documents will be unique and comparing them would be useless. That's probably why Master Documents do not have the Compare Documents feature enabled. Thank you for using and supporting OOo. For clarification, help can be requested on the keyword "template" in MS-Word Help, and then the keyword "master_document". Yes, include the underscore. The parallel Help search phrases in Ooo Writer are "template" and "master documents". Yes "documents" is plural, and no underscore is used with OOo Writer. I.E., "template" ! = "master document". In other words, in general concept, what is called a "template" in MS-Word, is called a "template" in OOo Writer, and what is called a "Master Document" in MS-Word is called a "Master Document" in OOo Writer. Yes John, I missed the point with Master docs. I believe OOo's "Compare Documents" feature only works for straight documents. I'll change this to an enhancement request. User wants a "Compare Documents" feature for master documents. Reassigned to BH. Would it be possible to make 'compare documents' work for Master documents? Master documents are just like regular text documents (.odt), but with the ability to pull in sub documents (.odt files). The text in master documents can change, and it would be very good to have the possibility to see what changed. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
