I teach at a local college and my students often have writing assignments. Many of my students are dual enrollment attending both high school and college, and many of them use Google Chromebooks supplied by their high schools. As a result, they compose their writing assignments on Google Docs and then save them in an MS-Word format for uploading to the college’s online portal.
Does someone open and save the document using MS Office before you get the document?
Are the docx-documents opened in Google Docs again?
I then download the assignments to LO Writer and grade them. I find that, with files created by Google Docs, the document will often have random groupings of words bookmarked throughout the file. The word groupings are surrounded by [square brackets] and all of the bookmarks have names beginning with “_int_” followed by a string of random looking letters and numbers.
You could look into the package (docx is a zip-archive) and see, what markup belongs to these bookmarks.
Perhaps these bookmarks are remnants of some change tracking or collaboration?
Such bookmarks are mentioned in [MS-OINTXML]. Is the associated namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/intelligence/2020/intelligence contained in the docx file markup?
I’m not concerned about this being an issue with LO. I am just wondering if anyone else has seen this type of behavior when editing documents in LO that were originally created by Google Docs. If so, does anyone know what these random bookmarks might mean? I’m confident my students are not deliberately creating random bookmarks, but I am wondering if they are doing something else that might result in a bookmark being created by Google Docs even without their knowledge.
I have got a Google Docs account and have got MS Office. But sorry, I don't know how to generate such bookmarks.
