Hi

I am using Libreoffice to type assignment for a course.  Having saved as
.doc i sent this to my tutor, and have received the document back with
comments added int he margine

issues

I cannot delete my orginal text
if I try and add text it appears green and underlined

Can anyone help please.  I am trying to use google but don't know what
to search for.

I don't immediately know, but is it possible he's enabled some sort of document tracking mode... I have used this in the past in Word, but it's did things like highlight changes and put short vertical bars at the left - maybe it's configurable?

Try exporting to plain text and re-import it - unless it's got lots of whacky tables, etc...

Did they insist on DOC? If not, send a LaTeX file...

Or just email a plain text file next time :)
