Hi there, I've recently been hired on as an editor with a small press, however we are having issues with my being able to see the MS Word comment balloons (track changes) in Open Office. Can anyone give me a hand with figuring this out? I would be extremely grateful

Congratulations! My fondest wish is to become a full-time freelance editor. I wish you all the best in your new position and hope you find it fulfilling and enjoyable.Legeica wrote:I've recently been hired on as an editor with a small press
Those translate into Notes in OpenOffice. The notes are hard to see because they're small pale-yellow boxes in the text; however, they're easy to find using the Navigator. Expand the Notes category tree. Here, you can preview each note as a tool tip and double-click on a note to go to its location in the text.Legeica wrote:however we are having issues with my being able to see the MS Word comment balloons (track changes) in Open Office.
For future reference, OOo 3.0 is slated to have a vastly improved version of Notes. User "parmruss" in another forum provided this link, where you can see screenshots of mock-ups and read the design details:

Re: Compatibility with MS Word comments feature
Thank you! I am able to see the comments now. I can see the yellow box that denotes comments made with OO, but I was unable to see the comments made in Word and sent back to me. I can see them using the navigator, though. Good to know that there's going to be a new system with OO3, as this is rather clunky and I wouldn't want to have to keep using it forever, that's for sure.
