Please note that the wiki version of the Getting Started book has NOT been updated to include the many changes made in the latest edition of the book, so editing on the wiki is a waste of time. The odt and PDF versions are up to date.
In general it is best to work on the user guides in their odt versions on the oooauthors Webster because those are much more likely to be the latest version. If anyone would like to update the wiki to match the odt that would be great. Calc guide on wiki is also not the latest. Writer guide mostly is latest but only because not much has been updated in odt to 3.2. Impress guide also has not been updated to 3.2 in odt. -- Jean On Friday, February 12, 2010, Clayton <ccorn...@openoffice.org> wrote: > On 02/11/2010 02:15 PM, Andy Taitt wrote: >> I work as an editor and am willing to help with proofreading and >> critiquing documents. >> >> Andy Taitt > > > Hi Andy.
