I found a solution:

1) Print to postscript file the comments only
2) open the postscript file with abiword (libreoffice is not working) and save it as e.g. doc

There it is.

I think it would be a good idea for these usage scenarios, to have the option to *export* the
comments to a new .odt file for further processing.


Cheers,

Rainer
