If I compare both documents with "By word" option, it works as expected: - the first paragraph in the new doc (the one with two paragraphs) is not marked modified - the second paragraph is marked modified. Note: as specified in the help, you must open the modified file et compare it to the old. Tested on LibreOffice 4.1.4.0.0+ under Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64. Best regards. JBF LibO 4.1.2.3 on Win7 : There is no help for "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Comparison" (the ad-hoc help page skip directly from "Changes" to "Compatibility") in the online help. After splitting a multi-sentences paragraph with one <enter> press (one paragraph mark inserted after a ending ".") : - Comparison "Auto" : the whole initial paragraph (with multiple sentences) is noted as deleted ; its content is split in the two new paragraphs - Comparison "by word" : are noted as deleted only the last sentence before the insertion point of the inserted paragraph mark. After this insertion point, the whole remaining of the initial paragraph is noted as deleted - Comparison "by character" : same than "by word". The coherent text is then noted as inserted. The comparison should have been able to shorten the unchanged ending part of the modified text, at least it should have kept only the sentence just after the insertion point. Can reproduce Dominique description - Just for indication, if you're working alone on multiple versions of the same document, using File > Version would be more indicated as it prevent to edit the last document first and compare it with the previous. Set as enhancement, lowering the importance, set on New - Sophie |
