Recording changes
For this chapter we will work with a budget proposal for a baseball team.
Figure 112 shows the budget spreadsheet your coach submitted.
Looking over the figures, you see a few places where money could be saved:
-
Post-game snacks can be bought by parents.
-
New uniforms can wait, only buy 10 to replace broken ones.
-
Buy cheaper baseballs.
-
Only buy 2 spare gloves.
To make these changes, use the record changes feature in Calc. To start Calc recording changes:
-
Open the Budget Spreadsheet.
-
Select Edit > Changes > Record (Figure 113) from the menu bar.
-
Begin editing the document.
Red borders appear around the cells where changes were made (Figure 114). Other reviewers then quickly know which cells were edited.

TIP
|
To change the color that indicates changes, select Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Calc > Changes.
|
Once you finish editing the document, you can send it to your coach. However, you may want to explain your rationale for the changes. You can add comments or notes to accomplish this.
