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?

It does indeed sound like change tracking is enabled. You can disable it from the Edit/Changes menu. Showing changes can be enabled or disabled separately from the Recording of changes.
