Cross reference to ask.libreoffice.org question https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/is-there-any-way-to-print-a-list-of-only-tracked-changes-without-the-rest-of-the-document-in-writer/104216 I was very surprised, that I couldn't find a similiar report. Personally I won't see an advantage in printed list (using the overviw in sidebar or manage changes dialog is better for me), but of course, there might be different opinions. So let's ask design-team. I wonder if you are aware of the sidebar deck that lists all TC. Besides, printing sounds very niche (and we have the responsibility of conservation) but export to Calc might make sense. However, assuming you can sort in Writer's sidebar (just filtering for now), what is a spreadsheet good for then? And last but not least the extension on ask.libreoffice looks promising, if we decide this to be a special use case for only a few users. I support this feature request, or rather: I support the ability to export the list of tracked changes. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > printing sounds very niche (and we have the responsibility of > conservation) Disagree. If it is not niche to go over the tracked changes (e.g. in a sidebar), it is not niche to export/print them. Export could be: * to a Writer document with the changes in sequence - in styled paragraphs. * to a Calc table (not a CSV table, since we need the formatting), maybe. and the export could be either into a file or into a new document. The file can then be printed. We discussed the topic in the design meeting. The proposed macro solution seems to be the right way to tackle this niche use case.

See my last comment 2. How does the macro reproduce complex, formatted, Writer objects within that Calc spreadsheet? Suggest reopening. |
