------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 12 21:25:57 +0000 2007 ------- I have to agree that the Writer editing tools need an overhaul. They were the thing that most made me reluctant to ditch word and, while I finally decided to put up with them, I really would like to see them improved. To begin with, the method for accepting/rejecting changes on a case by case basis is really cumbersome when compared with Word. That box that opens up with the changes listed by time is, so far as I can see, utterly pointless. Why use that, when it is simply better to scroll through the document? Secondly, the insert comments feature just doesnt cut the mustard -there also appear to be problems with comment visibility if the document is then opened in Word. I do a lot of proof-reading work and 99.9% of my clients use Word - I need the integration to be seemless because otherwise it looks woefully unprofessional. When I insert a comment, I don't want a little box in the text -I want it in the margin. Also, when I select a comment to apply to a peice of text, I don't want the original text to be invisible when my client opens it in Word (which has just happened). Finally, I think that the text crossing out feature when you delete text may have its uses but most of the time it simply makes the document hard to navigate and requires me to do a second pass with the changes turned off. This allows me to do a final edit but it takes for ever to delete anything this way. Overall, I think OOo is excellent and I don't want to be so negative -but text reviewing tools are very important to me (and to many others I'm sure) -and I don't want to be yearning for Word anymore.
