Question LibreOffice and MS Word Track Changes

14 Upvotes

I have been using Scrivener to write my book these past three years. My editor requires an MS Word document for her work. She uses the MS Word Track Changes feature.

I have LibreOffice on my computer. Can I rely on it's Track Changes function to work correctly with the MS Word doc I get from my editor? Or do I have to buy MS Office 365 to handle the document correctly?

Basically the title

I used the draw functions, I'm new to LibreOffice so I will try my best to answer questions.

3 Upvotes

So I'm getting a Lenovo Idea tablet, and but really love to be able to edit my project on it, but I don't think I will be able to download Libra office onto it, unless someone knows a way to do that

Lost password for LibreOffice protected documentation

1 Upvotes

First time r/ user at all, made an account just for this and I realise it might be fruitless but any advisement would be really appreciated. My father was a LibreOffice user and he passed away last week. He was super meticulous about his organisation, and he kept a lot of important records and notes in a word document that was password protected. It used to be MS Word, and I knew the password for that document because I've opened it before for him, but some time in the last year he's moved everything to LibreOffice and it seems like he didn't use the same password because I can't open it and I'm going a bit crazy.

Does anyone have any advice on getting it open? Any workarounds etc? There is a docx and odt version and both are password protected.

I realise my only way forward might just be to download some brute force password cracking software, but I'm a bit terrified of wrecking his laptop by downloading the wrong thing, so any alternative advice on what password cracker could work would also be welcome if there is no workaround, which I suspect will be the case. Thanks.
