nowhere to point people

[Jean Weber]

I just fielded a question about where to find AOO user guides that
came to the ODFAuthors webmaster. I had to tell the person that there
was nothing up to date and that I couldn't even find the material that
the AOO Docs group is working on. I was distressed to note that any
links from the AOO website (such as the Support page) point to the
very old, out of date documentation from OOo days, with no indication
of where to get more up to date info. I pointed the person to the AOO
users list, the AOO forum, and the LO documentation.

OTOH, it was rather nice to see my book listed on the Books page.

Ann;

At some point you subscribed to this list to unsubscribe send a blank
e-mail to doc-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org from the address you
subscribed from. You should receive a follow-up e-mail with
instructions. Follow those instructions and you should be removed from
the list. If you do not receive the follow-up e-mail check your spam
folder, it may inadvertently get put there by your ISP.

RE: openoffice writer guide 2.0 (column)

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Sajjad,

My understanding is that OpenOffice Writer Guide 2.0 is an obsolete document 
and we have no means to republish or correct it.

If there is more to do to clarify documentation, please refer to the latest 
Guide and check with documentation now being developed and maintained at 
.

Also, please have this conversation at one place.  Here at doc@ is best.  
Having conversations both here, at qa@ and on other lists simply fragments the 
discussion and loses important observations of others.

Your contribution to clarifying how column balancing works and what control 
there is for it is important.  We want to get maximum value from your 
contributions.

Regards,

 - Dennis
