Bug ID: 149211
Summary: Entry for "Object" in General Glossary needs
review/clarification
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sdc.bla...@youmail.dk

Here is the entry for "Object" in the General Glossary [1].
-------------------------------
Object
An object is a screen element containing data. It can refer to application
data, such as text or graphics.
Objects are independent and do not influence each other. Any object containing
data can be assigned certain commands. For example, a graphic object has
commands for image editing and a spreadsheet contains calculation commands.
------------------------
1. It is hard to understand what this entry means.
2. It is unclear if it is referring (at all) to images, shapes, textboxes,
frames, and OLE objects -- where the Help pages are often using the term
"object" as a "general" or "generic" term for referring to those different
elements.
3. It seems important to improve that entry, especially given that the first
two sentences of the General Glossary are:
This glossary includes explanations of some of the most important terms
you will come across in LibreOffice.
Use the glossary to look up unfamiliar terms found in any LibreOffice
application.
