00:02 | Hello Everybody. |
00:03 | Welcome to the tutorial on LibreOffice Writer - Track changes while Editing a document. |
00:09 | In this tutorial, I will explain how peer review of documents can be done with LibreOffice Writer. |
00:16 | We will open an existing document to explain how to peer review and edit a document using Record Changes option. |
00:26 | The benefit in using this feature is that a reviewer can give comments, add text, delete or modify existing text which is clearly visible as such, in the same document. |
00:40 | This can be easily seen by the author who can accept or reject these changes and thus incorporate these edit comments without the effort of making the changes once again. |
00:53 | And when the file is saved, the comments are incorporated. |
00:57 | So, let's learn how to do all of this. |
01:02 | Here, we are using:
|
01:10 | In this tutorial, I will be using some documents that I have already created and saved on my system, namely - |
01:16 | * 'Seven-reasons-to-adopt-FOSS.odt'
|
01:24 | click on Applications >> Office >> LibreOffice Writer to start Writer. |
01:34 | Open 'Seven-reasons-to-adopt-FOSS.odt'. |
01:41 | To set the Record changes option on, go to Edit → Changes and check the Record option. |
01:53 | The Show option should also be checked. This will enable any subsequent editing to be recorded distinctly. |
02:01 | In the document, let us insert a second point. |
02:05 | We will go to point number 2 and type: "Linux is a virus resistant operating system since each user has a distinct data space and cannot directly access the program files". |
02:36 | Hit Enter so that the current second point becomes point number 3. |
02:42 | Note that the text input has come in a new color. |
02:46 | Hover the mouse over this text. You will see the message "Inserted sriranjani:" followed by date and time of insertion. |
02:55 | Thus the person making the comment is identified in the document. The name is provided based on the name given during installation of LibreOffice as the user on the computer. |
03:08 | Correct the spelling of "avalable" in the first line. You will notice the correction. |
03:17 | Delete the first point - "It can be installed on all computers without restriction or needing to pay license fees to vendors". |
03:31 | Note that the deletion does not actually delete the line, but marks it as a line suggested for deletion. |
03:39 | Hover the cursor over it and we see the message: "Deleted sriranjani", followed by date and time of deletion . |
03:49 | In this manner, modifications can be made to a document by adding, deleting or changing an existing text in a document. |
04:00 | More than one person can edit the same document. |
04:04 | LO Writer will show each edit in a different colour to help the reader distinguish one reviewer's work from another. |
04:13 | Of course, hovering the mouse over the edited text will display the name of the reviewer. |
04:19 | I am going to demonstrate this by opening a document which is already been edited by my colleague Guru. |
04:27 | Open a text file document 'Government-support-for-FOSS-in-India.odt'. |
04:35 | In this document, we can see that several additions and deletions have been done. |
04:42 | Hovering the mouse over this text gives the message that the addition and deletion have been done by Guru. |
04:52 | Add a point at the bottom "CDAC, NIC, NRC-FOSS are institutions of Government of India which develop and promote FOSS". |
05:18 | We can see that the colour of this insertion is different from the colour of the edits done by Guru. |
05:24 | Hovering the mouse over this insertion gives the message "Inserted: sriranjani". |
05:29 | Thus more than one person can edit the same document before it goes back to the author. |
05:34 | Close the document without saving it. |
05:45 | We will now show how the author can accept or reject changes made by the reviewer. |
05:50 | In the same document- 'Government-support-for-FOSS-in-India.odt', let's assume I am the author and I will accept or reject the edits made by Guru. |
06:12 | Go to point 2 and right-click on the deleted text "reasons" and say Accept Change. |
06:22 | You will see that the text gets deleted which is the change suggested by the reviewer. |
06:28 | Right-click on the inserted text "needs" and select Accept Change. You will see that the text becomes normal which is the change suggested by the reviewer. |
06:39 | In this way, edits suggested by the reviewer- both insertions and deletions can be accepted by the author. |
06:49 | Go to point number 1 and right-click on the deleted text "The OpenOffice document standard (ODF) has been notified under this policy" and select Reject change. |
07:01 | This makes the text normal i.e. the suggestion of the reviewer to delete, has been rejected by the author. |
07:09 | Go to point number 5 and right-click on "Government Schools in these states and in Orissa, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu learn Linux" and select Reject change. |
07:24 | This deletes the text inserted by the reviewer. |
07:27 | In this manner, each addition or deletion can be accepted or rejected by the author. |
07:34 | Finally, after accepting or rejecting changes, we should go to Edit >> Changes and uncheck the Record and Show options. |
07:56 | When unchecked, any further editing will not be marked separately. |
08:00 | Please be sure to save the file after accepting or rejecting changes to incorporate all comments given by the reviewers. |
08:09 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Finally, the ASSIGNMENT- |
08:16 | Open a document and make corrections to spelling mistakes in Record Changes mode. |
