I still say that there should be a users manual right in the download

should be edited down to no more than 100 pages so that the end users
might actually decide to print it on hard copy. It would probably be
best to just touch lightly on the modules other than Writer, telling
the user where to go to download seperate manuals for Calc, Impress,
Draw, Base and Math.
Thanks. A manual of that dimension would be great. And at least there
should be a pointer to a manual that is as you describe. As most folks
don't use the other modules except for perhaps Impress, so there should
be a page or two on the other modules and a pointer to real manuals. But
I agree whole heartedly with the sentiment you express.
ODT and PDF versions of all users manuals are available from
http://www.oooauthors.org/ , a wiki version is available at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/ . You will need
to scroll down a little to see the users guides but they are there.
