Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 88879
Improve "tracked changes"
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:41 UTC
OpenOffice support for "changes" is very ugly now: - I cannot find next/previous change. Only visually. If document contains 10 or more pages it is VERY bad... - If one phrase was edited two or more times it is not possible to understand what actually was made. - I cannot merge only the cannge under cursor. - Comments must be shown not only by tooltips - it is not possible to see what they are commenting actually. Changes is VERY usefull feature for team work and is very needed. Please, make it more powerfull and usable.
Reassigned to requirements.
I would just like to say that I agree that it is not nearly as usable as in Word. The comments issue has been improved since the last post yes, but I deal a lot with documents with a lot of changes, and find it a real pain trying to use the 'Accept/Reject' window to accept or reject changes. From memory, Word has these options available in a toolbar, and also on right-click on a change. Please can we move towards that and make OOo even more usable.
