Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64741
Show recorded changes also in a masterdocument
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:41 UTC
If changes are recorded in a (sub)document, the changes (redlines, changebars) will be displayd in the (sub)document but not in a masterdocument. After an update of the masterdocument, the contents of the masterdocument looks like all changes in the subdocuments have been accepted. It should be possible to display all the redlines and changebars of the subdocuments also in the masterdocument.
Reassigned to requirements.

When generating a complete document via a master document, it is important to be able to show the changes that occurred in the sub-documents. This is a key feature needed for technical writing and is conspicuously lacking from this tool. I also cite this forum entry http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=36630 illustrating that this feature has been requested and ignored for 5 years already. The version on this issue should be updated to 3.x; as the feature still is not working in the latest release.
