Description slamough 2020-06-25 15:40:46 UTC

Description:
I have to copy and paste parts of a large manuscript, so I wouldn't have to work on the whole file.
I turned off tracking changes in the orignial file and the new file. Then I tried to copy and paste text, but the tracking changes were not transferred. So I would have to work with the whole file to see the editorial comments, what is annoying. 
   

Actual Results:
Try to copy and paste tracking changes into a new file. 

Expected Results:
Tracking changes were not transferred into the new file. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Transfer tracking changes.

Seems that LO really cannot copy tracked changes, just the final state.
WPS for example does that. 
Not sure about this, but I'll confirm as enhancement.

On Linux, at least, WPS 2019 appears to also be unable to copy striked-out text deleted in Review tracking mode in a first document and paste it with the deleted portion into a second document. The behavior is therefore similar to that of LibreOffice and some versions of MS-Office.

I tested this and it works in MSO or WPS, can't remember now, with both Track off. It's simple and useful.

Could have been in MS-Office Word 2013 & 2016.
