I'm not really concerned about preserving that though. Was just looking for an easy (for me) way to toggle among the three document states, original, edited, edits committed, so that in the process of making my changes I could switch back and forth among the various versions of the document. And the "switching" would occur at the current cursor location. That way there's no mode change like Alt+Tab ing to the original version of the document in another window then scrolling to the current location. -Alan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org 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

Actually recall an article several years ago in which the author proposed using SVN for nearly all file storage. For exactly the reason you're describing. This isn't a regular need so I doubt I go to that length to get the result. -Alan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org 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

It is the changed document that's shown as if edits have been accepted. That's only half of what I am looking for though. Would like to be able to toggle state between original, edits displayed, and edits "accepted" versions of the document. "Accepted" in quotes because they wouldn't really have been committed otherwise the other document states would be lost.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer "record changes" feature
Thanks for the thought. It's not quite as KISS as I'd like though. I haven't used MS Word for a while, when I did, this was available. It was possible to see a document in it's original form, with all edits displayed, or as if all edits are accepted. That function, or a close approximation, is what I'm hoping is available. -Alan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org 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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer "record changes" feature
How about saving the changed document under a different name; when I'm unsure of changes, I'll save a document with a - following the name then when I return to the documents I have the first, unchanged one, and the working one with that - following it. In this way, you can make any number of changes by merely adding additional -s (or choose any character); these will all be saved together so you can promptly see how many, etc. Just another KISs solution ;-) From: Alan B Date: Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 7:18 PM Subject: [libreoffice-users] Writer "record changes" feature To: "users@global.libreoffice.org" With the "record changes" feature turned on and the "show changes" feature enabled any changes made to a Writer document are clearly seen.
