Unexpected modifications from/to Microsoft Word
Posted: 2020-02-04 13:49:19
I REALLY want to use Nisus Writer Pro . It's the tool I've been hoping for for many years. I exchange lots of Word docs with other IBMers as well as folks in other companies. Lots of tracked changes and comments and authors. The presentation of these is far superior in Nisus, so I naturally wanted to try it out.
I opened one of these files in Nisus, then I saved the file under a new name and exited. I started Word and opened the original document and then used the Word Tool "Combine Documents" in an effort to see fit anything changed, adding "Nisus" as the updated document's author. I saw all of the original backup and change tracking, but I also saw a very large number of changes apparently introduced by the file's brief existence in Nisus.
While I cannot share the specific document, I can attach a portion of the Revisions window shown by Word. The changes listed were mostly on the heading and first lines of the first paragraph.
I sincerely hope I've just managed to fat-finger this and that you can set me straight.
