Can anyone assist me in writing a specific section of the OOo3 Impress Guide?

For example, I'm totally unclear on the difference between Insert > Movie and Sound versus Insert > Object > Sound (or Insert > Object > Video). I can get the first to work (on WinXP), but not the second (an "object" icon appears on
the slide, but doesn't do anything).


afaik, the Insert-Object-Sound/Video commands are mainly still there out of historical reasons. Normally, Insert-Movie&Sound should be used.


If there is info in the Help, I've been unable to find it, and some of what I
have found doesn't seem to correspond with what I see in WinXP.


please send me some pointers to the incorrect Help pages.


I've been searching the OOo forum and the Web, but it's slow going and I suspect I don't know the right search terms. Pointers to specific topics, threads, or pages, or some help from an experienced user, would greatly speed this up. Not just regarding those menu items, but generally what should be covered in the Impress user guide regarding sound and video in presentations.


in theory, all movie and sound files that your default browser can play should also be playable in Draw and Impress. Unfortunately, it is not easy to guarantee this for a multi-platform program. So there are some issues:
