Hi everybody,

Yesterday I wrote the following mail. I haven't seen it yet on the
mail archive. Perhaps because I was not subscribed to this mailing
list yet?

I've found some differences between the PDF I downloaded (from:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf
) and the draft 13 .odt file (from:
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/34356/user_guide_master.odt
)

I've included two screenshot from the math examples page 433. On that
page I can see everything using OOo. Using Acrobat reader
(stand-alone, not inside a browser) I can see the n-root symbol, but
not the numbers or characters from the formula. The other formula's
are not complete either.

NB when using the PDF Acrobat shows page 433, but the pagenumber on
the page itself says 403. This is because the 'first' page, which
starts after the roman numbered pages and has the heading "New
Features with 2.x", starts with 1 in the PDF, but with 31 in the OOo
file.

With regards,
Jeroen Eeuwes
