Created attachment 64032 [details] The cause of the problem: Flags for which changes should be displayed are written wrong Problem description: If you track changes in Libre Office and store the document as .doc and open the document with MS Word, the changes are not visible. This makes Libre Office pretty unusable in collaboration scenarios. The behavior is absolutely independent of the Libre Office setting "Edit > Changes > Show". The problem is caused by writing wrong flags for which changes should be displayed into the .doc (see screenshot). Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new document in libre office and fill it with a sample text 2. Save the document as test.doc 3. Enable track changes 4. Make some changes 5. Save the document 6. Open the document in MS Word Current behavior: The changes are not displayed. Expected behavior: The changes are displayed in MS Word just like in Libre Office Platform (if different from the browser): Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04 Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/12.04 Chromium/18.0.1025.168 Chrome/18.0.1025.168 Safari/535.19
I am changing back to default priority. Please do not escalate a bug past the priority that it is, ie. Critical implies crashing, loss of work, etc...this is not a critical bug. I am marking as default, Normal - Medium and then I'll deal with really prioritizing it later.
