Here is a sample of some things I found. There are many, many more. PLEASE NOTE that most of these problems are in the full book, but NOT in the chapter files. There are many inconsistent uses of numbered and/or bulletted lists throughout the book, probably due to incorrect/inconsistent style use. I am not going to itemize all of them, but here are some examples from Chapter 1. Page 19, at the top is a paragraph numbered 1), but the paragraph just before Figure 15 on page 18 should be 1) and this paragraph 2). Further down, there is another paragraph numbered 1), as it should be, but the next paragraph does not have a number, even though it is part of the same procedure; it should be 2). Further down, under Saving a Document Automatically, the two final paragraphs are a procedure and should be numbered 1) and 2). Page 20, the use (or not) of bullet points is inconsistent, and the final paragraph is centered but should not be. A few random examples from other chapters, after which I gave up looking. Page 72 (in Chapter 3), under Adding a Movie or Sound, there is an un-numbered procedure. Further down is an item in a different procedure numbered 3), but the other items in that procedure have no numbers. Under Using Mail Merge, several items should have bullet points. Page 81 (in Chapter 4), there is an item numbered 4), but the other items in the procedure have no numbers. Page 115, list begins with 4) but the actual first list item is not numbered. Some lists use numbers followed by a closing parenthesis; some use numbers followed by a period (full stop). Again, inconsistent style use, though trivial compared to the random use of numbering at all. Other formatting errors are in the chapter files as well as the full book. Examples (there are many others): Page 8, the Note is formatted differently from Notes, Tips, Cautions in other chapters. Page 20, the final paragraph is incorrectly tagged as OOFigure, so it is centered but should not be. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: doc-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: doc-h...@openoffice.apache.org
