Hidden text capability needed in OOo
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
I'd like to have the ability to format text as hidden so that, when saved in RTF, this would bring the text to be set as {\v hidden_text}. I need this because I use MediaView, a multimedia authoring tool that relies on RTF source files and hidden text to author jumps to topics. All I need is available in OOo but this feature. And I still need to rely on MS Word for this only feature (or edit the rtf manually) You can email me at Jacques.Abada@arcanthea.com in case you need more details. Thanks.
This works in general. Select the text to be hidden, insert->fields->other->functions->hidden text. Export to rtf. To toggle on and off tools->options->text document->formatting aids-> check on or off view hidden text.
I'll close this because it works, if it doesn't do as I say you can reopen :-)
