Andrew,
Sounds like you are looking for some sort of version control. Please

I'm collaborating with colleagues on a project, and ahve been
overruled on my preference to use LaTeX in emacs. We'll be using
word/OO to swap and track changes.
My question is this: Word has a very nice layout for track changes in
which deleted text gets put in the margin in a little "balloon," then
a dotted line points to the point in the text where the deletion was
made. This makes the text a lot easier to read than the old version --
which seems to be OO's version -- in which the deleted text is
redlined but kept within the document.
Is there any way to get a similar view in OO?
Thanks.
