- | It probably won't surprise you to learn that I use LibreOffice to write these articles. For the longest time, I would print out each draft of an article, mark it up with a red pen, then transfer my changes to the computer. This old-school method came from my years editing papers as a student and as a professional. As I began to write on a regular basis, I accumulated a growing stack of recycle paper from writing. I tried to use both sides of the paper, and even ripped some in quarters for use as note-paper. Before long I was burning through a lot of paper and ink. | + | **It probably won't surprise you to learn that I use LibreOffice to write these articles.

- | At some point I decided I needed a digital solution. I already knew that Writer provided editing markup, but had never tried to use it for editing my documents. With some hesitation, I began to use it. The whole “old dog, new trick” issue. After using it for a couple of months, I began to wonder why I hadn't used it before. From right inside Writer, I can track my changes, make notes (comments), and accept or reject the changes. In many ways, it is quicker and even more efficient than the hard-copy method. | + | At some point I decided I needed a digital solution.

Once I finish the first draft of my article, I save it as a version and turn on recording changes. (More on version control later.) ‘Edit > Changes > Record’ sets Writer to begin recording changes. Edit > Changes > Show sets Writer so it shows me the changes that have been made. I have debated with myself the wisdom of showing changes while I am actually editing. On the one hand, I can see the changes as I make them. On the other hand, showing the changes while I edit can make reading the text difficult. I have tried it both ways, and see some logic in not showing changes during the actual edit process, but waiting until the accept and reject process to actually show the changes. In the end, the choice is yours. | Once I finish the first draft of my article, I save it as a version and turn on recording changes.

If I set Writer to show changes, and I add text, it is underlined and changed to the color I have set. When I remove text, it is shown as struck-through just as I would when editing a hard copy. The strike-through text is shown in a different color from the added text. The colors used for added and deleted text are controlled by the settings at Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Changes. | If I set Writer to show changes, and I add text, it is underlined and changed to the color I have set.

After editing the draft, I am ready to review my changes. If changes are not currently showing, Edit > Changes > Show. Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject brings up the “Accept or Reject Changes” dialog, which displays a list of all my changes. Each listing shows the type of change, author, date, time, and any comments. Selecting any of the items in the list highlights the change in the document. If I want to keep the change, I click the Accept button. If I don't want to keep the change, I click the Reject button. If I know I want to keep all my changes, I can just click the Accept All button. However, if I decide to throw out all my changes, I can click the Reject All button. | After editing the draft, I am ready to review my changes.

Sometimes, I need to make a note to myself. Using the hard copy method, I would just write a note in the margins. These usually don't represent an actual change, but an idea or action to act on at a later time. For example, needing to expand on an idea, or save an idea for a later article. Marginal notes are accomplished through Comments. Do not confuse these with change comments. | Sometimes, I need to make a note to myself.

The name that appears at the bottom of the comment is controlled by the data entered in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > User Data. Placing my cursor inside the box, I type my comment. I can even format the text within the comment box using the format tools in the formatting toolbar or the side-bar.

After each cycle of changing and then accepting / rejecting, I like to save a version of the document in its current state. File > Versions opens the Versions dialog. I click on Save New Version and give the version a name like “Rough Draft”, then maybe any comments I may need like “image markers in place.” I click OK to save the version. If I ever need to go back to a version, I can open the Versions dialog, select the version I need, and click Open.
