Description mikemckibbin 2022-11-11 18:45:57 UTC 
I use Writer on Windows 10 PC and Windows 11 laptop and ran into this problem yesterday. Any changes made by someone else in Word do not show up in my LO document, whether I save it in Word or as a .odt file. I reset LO in safe mode but the same thing happened so I don't think I have a corrupt user file. I keep Windows and LO updated and am not aware of any settings changes that might have had this result.

Hello, you are using very old version of LibreOffice 4.2. Please try with actual version. Thank you.

Attach test file to verify the bug.

I don't know what you mean by test file. I open the Word document and there are no track changes showing. The person who edited the document said there were some changes. I had always been able to see track changes until yesterday, Nov. 10. I can't share the document because it's work product. And this occurs on my PC with Windows 10 and my laptop with Windows 11.
