Save a Writer file without comments or change history?

Is there any way to save a Writer file without comments or any history of changes? I want to be certain that clients can’t see comments or any other (past) versions of the document. Thanks.

This is from Writer Help:

Recording Changes

Not all changes are recorded. For example, the changing of a tab stop from align left to align right is not recorded. However, all usual changes made by a proofreader are recorded, such as additions, deletions, text alterations, and usual formatting.

(my emphasis)

I cannot discover any way to switch this function off. It seems that the b*stards have decided that it is on at all times.

Hi

I do not think it is possible to get what you seek in a single command. I would do it in 3 steps:

  1. Stop record changes: Edit Track Changes
  2. Edit Track Changes Manage Changes Accept All (or reject depending on your need)
  3. Comment menu: Delete All Comments

And, of course, Save as a new name if you want to keep the original document.
