I always thought changes that were accepted were not logged in OO, but I
wouldn't swear on it.  This has always been a major problem with
MSWord--information you thought was gone hidden in the document.

Having made some recorded changes, accepted them, saved a file, then
reopened, I don't see any obvious way to see those changes.

One way to be more certain, though, is to save as an RTF file.  This
might subtly change the formatting, but if it's just a straight text
document with nothing more than italics, bold, etc., this shouldn't cause
any problems.  I'm almost certain the metadata won't survive in RTF.
