Andy, Actually, no, many if not most of the screenshots work for both OOo and LibO. Only the ones that show the name of the program, and those where the fields are different, need to be redone at this time. But you are right: everything needs to be checked! And that's why the files are drafts and are only visible to people who are logged in and have the right privileges. Div, more info: None of the user guides for LibO need to start from scratch. Our plan is to start with the existing OOo guides, update them to OOo3.3 and then revise them as needed for LibO 3.3. Of course there is no reason why someone can't take an existing OOo chapter, update/revise it for LibO 3.3 and then someone amend it for OOo 3.3, but it seems to me most efficient to go from OOo to LibO -- at this point. In future, who knows? Whatever works, works. I try to encourage and coordinate, but not dictate.
