I am reviewing "Introducing Base". Somehow the section briefly
describing how Base and the other components work together, so I am
having to add material here. I still hope to have this done in the next
couple of days.
Using F4 or View > Data Sources in Writer, we have access to all
our registered data sources. This permits us to do mail merges for one
thing. Data in table form can be copied into a text document in Writer.
Tables in Writer can be use to create a new table in a data source, we
choose whether this new table in the data source does or does contain
data from the Writer table, or we can append data from the Writer table
into an existing table in the data source. (I'm not sure how clear this
is to anyone.)
Here is my question: I know that Mail Merge is a chapter in Writer. But
where should the instructions be for the other uses of Base and Writer
together? Writer Guide, or Base Guide?
Uses of Base with Writer, Calc & other components? should go in the
Base Guide. Very common uses (such as mail merge in Writer) should
also go in the relevant component guide, but the approach would
probably be different. In some cases, mention of the use should be in
the component guide, referring readers to the Base Guide for details.
