Thanks for the interest in the LibreOfffice product, but this is a list about the DOCUMENTATION of the software, if you need something modified from WITHIN the software, say an onscreen error or redundancy (as you so perfectly put it) should be done on a DEVELOPMENT list.
We can try to see if someone here has the capacility to change these things, but it is not our list goal. I recomend you put these observations in a bug report at bugzilla (freedesktop bugs under LibreOffice) and post the bug lso in a DEV list But I agree that these Impress Wizards REALLY need some work for the user experience to improve Thanks Rogerio 2012/2/4 Nathan Neff <nathan.n...@gmail.com> > Hello, > > I'm using Impress version 3.4.5 on OSX, and would like to > offer suggestions for the Wiazard's Help pages. > > Scenario: Creating a new presentation, and pressing "Help" on Page 2 > of the Presentation Wizard. > > Issue 1: Select a slide design > The help text starts with "Allows you to select a slide design for the > presentation you selected on page 1 of the Wizard." > > This is rather redundant -- might I suggest that you just remove this > sentence? > > Issue 2: The next sentence says "In the upper list box you can choose > from three slide design types (education, presentation backgrounds and > presentations)." > > On my installation, there are only two slide design types, > "Presentation Backgrounds" and "Presentations".
