[kwlug-disc] changes to .doc file from oowriter not tagged in word?

[unsolicited]

Or Google Apps. (Same thing? Docs in Apps is Docs?)

The editor could park himself in there, others submitting in oo or mso 
as they wish.

Warning - Google Apps is lowest common denominator of the two. Not 
sure that changes / edits / versions would carry through back and 
forth. Haven't tried.

If the editor is only reviewing, not editing or marking up, perhaps 
pdf really is the way to go.

For PDF - http://www.pdfdownload.org/.
