--- Comment #15 from Tex2002ans <[email protected]> --- Strong −1. Agree with Comment 4 and Comment 5 (and the maintainability problems below). - - - This kind of thing much better dedicated towards video tutorials. Like the fantastic "Beginner"/"Basics" videos for Word/Excel/Microsoft Office by: - Kevin Stratvert - Leila Gharani 10 or 15 minutes of just explaining the UI and clicking through the very simple steps, and showing some features a brand-new user might need. - - - If the user wants or needs that, they can hunt it down themselves. But to shove this in the face of all users (and trying to MAINTAIN such a thing with Normal/Tabbed/variant UIs + across languages/OSes), no. Handholding is usually best mixed with audio and video at the same time too, so you can: - SEE/HEAR where a user is clicking. - Follow along (and THEIR SCREEN "matches yours exactly" too). - Slow down, speed up, skip or rewind parts of the video as needed too. - - - So instead, it would probably be best to dedicate time towards creating tutorials like: - LibreOffice Writer for Beginners - LibreOffice Calc Tutorial for Beginners - Top 15 LibreOffice Writer Tips and you can follow a similar playbook as those other massively popular Microsoft/Google Docs video tutorials too. - - - Side Note: And remember, there are 4 major types of Documentation: - Tutorials = Learning-Oriented - ^ This is the kind we're talking about here! - How-To Guides = Problem-Oriented - Discussions = Understanding-Oriented - Reference = Information-Oriented For a breakdown, see the info/resources I linked in my 2025 post: - https://old.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/136b8ni/fonts_embedding_what_those_options_actually_do/jnbnerj/ And super "Beginner" type stuff is a whole different ballgame... because you have to REALLY REALLY simplify things, and you can't assume any sort of knowledge or overload them with technical gobbledeegook. (You'll have to pretend this person has never seen or interacted with a spreadsheet before!) :P -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
