Hi Jean,
I have updated Chapter 1 of the Base Guide accordingly.
However, I have a built-in dislike of web addresses like this that
include the version number of the software to be downloaded. What
happens when versions 18, 19, 20, ... come along. Will we have to update
the text of the guides each time?
Can I offer the following alternative text, which seems to side-step
this potential irritation?
* "For macOS, you need to install Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK),
not just the JRE. Download links can be found by selecting the macOS
option at: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/.";
I've used this revised text in the Base Guide but can change again if
anybody has other ideas.
Regards,
Steve

In the WG and GS, I am adding a row to the table about "Using LO on
macOS" and I suggest this be added in all books.
Between the row for Ctrl (Control) and the row for F11, insert:
Alt ⌥ (Option) Used with other keys
Here is the latest info for macOS regarding JRE. Previous versions of
GS and WG had info that is now out of date, and Base doesn't seem to
have anything about macOS; I don't remember which of the other books
mention this.
For macOS, you need to install Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK),
not just the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Download links can be
found at:https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk17-mac
