I have uploaded a draft "template" (in .odt format) for OOoV3 user
guide chapters. Later on I'll also provide a proper template (.ott).
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide3/res3/chapter_template_v3_JHW_03June2008.odt
I think I've included all the necessary styles, but no doubt some
tweaking to the styles will be needed before it's reasonably stable.
And some more instructions may be necessary. This one document is
intended to serve (as Gary was doing) as both a template and a
template how-to, instead of having separate documents for the two
purposes as we had in the past.
I borrowed from Gary's draft style changes, modifying all the styles
to fit a landscape orientation intended for onscreen viewing. I also
took into account the excellent comments made in discusssions on these
lists over the past few days, for which I thank the participants very
much.
As always, comments on this draft are welcome. Barring dramatic
objections to anything I've done, I think it's ready to use.
BTW, I started from a blank file containing no custom styles, and I
did NOT load or copy any styles from existing documents. The first
time I tried this, I loaded styles and ended up with some junk that
caused problems... no doubt related to the long and convoluted history
of our documents. So, to avoid any historical problems creeping in to
the new template, I started over and manually entered all the
necessary styles. If you choose to modify anything in this template,
please do NOT do it by loading or copying styles as that might
contaminate the clean file.
