Implement redaction tool to hide confidential content
Last modified: 2023-08-10 13:26:46 UTC
Are there any plans to make a add on for redaction similar to the redaction tool offered in either adobe professional or ms office 2003? It would sure help those that work with legal documents on a daily basis.
Does Writers feature cover your requirements by using "Edit.Changes.Record" from menu?
Found more about that. This feature is required to redact content in the document which you do not want to share to ohers. See also http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA012193991033.aspx?pid=CL100636481033
The United States Joint Forces Command presented their work on this on the last OOoCon: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/schedule/general_abstracts.html#g2 (abstract) http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/schedule/tuesday.html schedule with link to the video/audio from the talk (Bottom line: working prototype exists, they plan to contribute)
