I've been studying the published guide for Writer 3.2 and notice that
Styles and Templates each have their own chapters. Calc combines the
two into a single chapter and it forces the reader to jump around the
book. It's really confusing for someone who is not already familiar
with Writer and if you are, you don't need it repeated in Calc, so
perhaps it would help new users if each had their own chapter(s) in
Calc with perhaps a few more screen shots of the menus in some
explanations.

Also, I use OOo on a Mac and wonder whether a PC user sees the same
thing as I do, such as the same menus and choices. I know the key
shortcuts are different, but are there any other basic differences I
should know about before reviewing something?

Thank you.

Hey Judy - sorry for the late reply.

That's a good observation (about the Writer vs Calc and the Styles info). We always need to look at refreshing the layout and content flow to improve the information. We can look into this on the next major update - maybe for 3.4? I'd like to hear from the rest of the gang on this as well.

Generally the differences between Mac and Windows/Linux/Solaris are limited to just the keyboard shortcuts. You will see minor differences in the Tools > Options menus (and usually this is noted in the documentation). If you see something that is incorrect on the Mac, then email the team and let everyone know. Many/most of us don't have Macs, so triple checking against OSX is not easy.
