I trust there's no surprise that the OASIS Standard ODF documents are developed and maintained as ODF documents. Tracked changes are critical to the work of the ODF TC and the review processes that the work goes through.
There is a subcommittee of the OASIS ODF TC working on extension/replacement of the tracked changes features for ODF 1.3. That is in response to those who find the limitations of the current standard and its implementations unacceptable. This requirement seems to emerge from users in public administration, somewhat akin to the use in law firms. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Robert Funnell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 13:55 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] record changes weakness compared to m$ On Wed, 19 Dec 2012, Felmon Davis wrote: > On Wed, 19 Dec 2012, Bobby kneisel wrote: > >> Unfortunately, where I work, this feature is used heavily ( and yest it is >> really, really annoying) but is considered a must have for our >> environment. >> >> Bobby Kneisel > > I wouldn't call it 'must-have' in my environment (academic) yet but I am very > frequently confronted with it, e.g. today a colleague offered to a document > back to me with 'changes' on; I reminded him I can't work well that way. > > in my case, I also don't _like_ the feature. so much the worse for me. > > F. For what it's worth, I'm in an academic environment and I use the record-changes feature heavily with students, collaborators and colleagues, some of whom use LO/OO but most of whom use MS Word and .doc files. I use LO/OO myself and usually don't have problems, except sometimes when there are lots of figures and equations. This has improved over time. I love record-changes and would be lost without it. - Robert -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
