[TriLUG] OO.org track changes feature

[Andrew Perrin]

Well, yes, that's what I'm using (the track changes feature). But what I 
would like is a display of track changes similar to the one Word 2003 
gives (see picture at http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/word2003.jpg) 
instead of the one OO seems to use, at least by default 
(http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/oo2.jpg).

Thanks-
Andy
