Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Five chapters of Writer 4.2 Guide awaiting review

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi Kevin,

there was a similar problem last month although this related to the 
"function" key. The solution here was to tweak the bios (as you do on a 
Sunday afternoon when you have nothing better to do :)


I'll include the link anyway should you want to read thru'

It was from the repos. I only download from the website on Windows.

I see that Nino Novak is saying that the KDE desktop is intercepting the
calls, which certainly fits what I am seeing. If so, there is nothing to be
done except possibly adding an explanatory note in the documentation, but
that is not my call, and in any case you should probably confirm what I am
seeing.

I'm still trying to figure out the conditional content. I have gone over it
about 20 times and somehow it isn't clicking for me. I can do the steps,
but somehow the part about triggering the choice/condition is just isn't
making nay sense to me.

HI :)
I cant get to a KDE desktop until Monday and even then it's the same one
you are using, ie Kubuntu 14.04

Just out of curiosity was that LO pre-installed (or from the repos) or did
you download it from the LibreOffice website?  My work's reception machine
has the one from the LibreOffice website.

Writer Chapter 14 - Fields

I have run into something that looks like a problem, but on Page 17,
Keyboard Shortcuts, I am not getting that working on any machine with KDE
(in this case, Kubuntu 14.04). On Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 they seem to
work fine. Ctrl+F2 should bring up the Insert Fields window, but it isn't
doing that. Should I ignore this? Is it unique to me?

Where is everyone? Is no one willing or available to review anything?
If not, then I'll just publish them as is. Quality assurance on
documentation is desirable, but if we hang around indefinitely waiting
for people, it means nothing gets published.

Chapters are here:


http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/writer-guide/drafts-v4.2/

We haven't heard from JohnS in over 2 months, so I'll go through the
chapter (number 12) that he had checked out; I've changed the status
on the Tasks page. That will be the last one to complete this book.
(And I do hope John's okay.)

No, I'm not going to spend my time trying to find other people to do
the reviewing work. This list has a lot of people on it. If everyone's
too busy, that's understandable. If you're waiting for a personal
invitation, someone else will have to fill that role.

If you're not sure what "reviewing" is, read Chapter 2 of the
Contributors Guide, here:



https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#Contributors_Guide

Note that you do NOT need to be any kind of technical expert -- what
you do need is to follow the instructions in the chapter and see if
they make sense and if the illustrations match the program and the
text. Big deal, eh? It would be nice if you also correct any errors
you find, but the most important thing is to identify the errors.

You do NOT need an ODFAuthors login to download these files; I've made
them available to all. You do need a login to upload any amended
files, or you can send them directly to me and I'll upload them. If
you don't want to amend files, you can send an email to the list
itemising what you've found.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Coordination, mentoring, etc

[Tim Lloyd]

just a thought...could all contributors introduce themselves and what 
aspects of the doco they work on?


I am not a qualified author and my knowledge of LO is largely gleaned 
from this mailing list (and reading the documentation). I therefore try 
to proof read docs when they come out - been a bit lazy of late :(


Cheers

Hi Jean

I agree with you. My problem, coming recently to volunteering, is that it's
hard to actually know what to do. Some mentoring or at least direction
relating to tasks would be most useful, even though it seems to go against
the grain of 'volunteering'. By the same token, rigidity is no good;
volunteers have other lives to lead and sometimes those lives take over.

I'm staging a return to authoring after an absence of some years, and
volunteering for documentation tasks seems a good way to build up recent
experience on my CV. However, I need to specifically identify and access
the tasks there are in the Libre Office Documentation team and, you know,
that's a bit of a problem for me right now. So mentoring and a bit of steer
would be most welcome!

Regards

Tony

IF people in this group think some coordination and/or mentoring is
needed or at least would be useful, the group needs to find someone or
several people to do that, do it consistently, and do it well.

I do a bit now and then, but I have not been doing it consistently,
have no intention of doing it consistently, and will probably be doing
even less in future. I've been saying this for months, but is anyone
listening?

If we can't find one or more volunteers to take on this sort of
responsibility, perhaps we should make a case for TDF to fund someone,
at least part time? IMO we would need to hire someone with experience
in technical communication, project management, and mentoring new team
members. Preferably someone with experience coordinating volunteers,
so they don't have inappropriate expectations of giving people
assignments and getting the work done to a schedule. (No, I'm not
looking for a job.)

I'm not at all sure that would help enough, because we would still
need people who have both the time and knowledge to do the actual
work. Our problem, AFAICT, has not been in attracting volunteers. The
problem is attracting -- and keeping -- the right volunteers: that is,
people with the time and knowledge.

BTW, I find it both encouraging and discouraging to note that the AOO
Docs group appears to have the same problems that we do.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] GS Guide Chapter 4, Getting started with Writer

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi John,

The only thing I can see here is a typo at the bottom of page 17 - 
"unrecognised". Other than that all

good.

Sad to say I think I reviewed the previous version of this guide which 
includes the same typo :-[ . Maybe something to note down for the next 
version?

Unfortunately, with this copy I had a lot of trouble with LO crashing 
and file corruption. There are almost no recorded changes prior to 
about page 21 and masses of deleted pages after the document ends. The 
chapter is good to go in spite of this.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Calc Guide 4.1 New Version

Hi Peter,

first comment is cosmetic: page 7 "Embedding Image Files" the first line

second is more important: Page 10 "Using the picture toolbar" in the

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] White Paper

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi David, I have nothing to add to the doc which I think provides a 
suitable launchpad to interest management. One comment though:


   Not only that, but MS Office 2010 and 2013 can't even open some
   documents created in earlier versions of MS Office itself,

Do we actually have a reference point for this? If I was behind the 
bosses chair and I could see the impact of upgrading MSO then this would 
be a significant point.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: Impress User Guide LO Version 4.0

[Tim Lloyd]

Peter,

I won't bother uploading a file to highlight these 2 very minor typos:

Page 6 - Hiding Slides, point 2 - "greyed"!
Page 11 - Applying Animation Effects, point 4a - there is an extra space 
between "effect" & "when"


E, that's it

Cheers

Hi Susan and welcome to LibreOffice. There was a thread about this back

Also, I have copied this to the users list which is probably a better

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: PING Tim Lloyd: Base Handbook Chapter 2 needs review

Jean,

chapter 3 is reviewed and living at:

http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/reviewed/base-h-b-chapter-3-tl-version/view

Around page 20 I noticed that the figure numbers had reverted back from 
10 to 1. I must have tapped something as the next time I looked they 
were correctly number 11 and onwards.

[Tim Lloyd]

Jean,

Copyright 2012 ?
Page 6 "Change Memory Options" 2 broken links in the first para
Page 14 "screen captures" uses "grey" and there is a "customise" further 
down. And "labelled". Not sure how US English deals with this

I have revised Chapter 2 of the Docs Contributors' Guide, "Producing
LibreOffice User Guides". I removed the section on disabling autosave,
revised the section on using the template manager, and made some other
changes.

One section (about compiling a book using a master document) still
needs revision, but I'll do that later.

No doubt there are errors and omissions in the revised file, so please
let me know of anything you find. Also, if you have previously
reviewed the chapter, and your suggestions have not be included, it's
probably because I overlooked your reviewed file and not that I
rejected your suggestion. Please feel free to let me know.

I'm hoping to have the time and energy to tackle another chapter soon,
but I'm making no promises.

[libreoffice-documentation] LO 4.0 Getting Started Guide - Appendix A/B

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi,

Appendix A is all good

Appendix B

Page 380 Opening Formula Files, last line: "converted to an LibreOffice 
Math object" should read "converted to a LibreOffice Math object"


I guess the index will be regenerated anyway but it looks broken (EG):

Index says CSV file open page 114, Opening a CSV file is on 116
Index says Macros on Page 330. Getting started with macros is on 335

[libreoffice-documentation] Fw: LO4.0 Getting Started: Chapters 13/14 - Macros/Customizing

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi,

Page 338 the note contains "it maybe". Not entirely sure about this but should 
it read "it may be"?
Page 346 "How the macro recorder..." First line "the recorder is relatively..." 
should be "the recorder is a relatively..."
Page 346 Same section: The long sentence starting "Recording a macro" could 
read "When recording a macro" to tie in with the end of the sentence
Page 346 Other options: 2nd para the word "can" is in a smaller font to the 
rest of the line
Page 349 Point 4) list starts f) g) h) rather than a) b) c)
Page 350 the link to the oooforum goes nowhere. I raised this on the users 
forum and the consensus is that this link is no longer reliable.
Page 354 in the first link the word openoffice is a diff colour to the rest of 
the link




Chapter 14 - Customizing

all looks good to me

Chapter 12

Page 322 Intro 2nd set of bullets, 2nd bullet "such as a image" should read 
"such as an image"

can use the Hyperlink dialog"?

[libreoffice-documentation] Getting Started With LibreOffice 4.0 - Introducing LibreOffice & Chapter 6 - Impress

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi,

Page 27 and onwards - numerous instances of "Start Centre" - UK English

Chapter 2 - all good.

I was about to check out "impress" so I'll leap to chapter 6

Page 161 - Step 5, a) b) etc need indenting
Page 164 - Modifying Slide Elements. First Line, "as well" should read "as well 
as"
Page 168 Formatted Pasted Text - Step 4, a) b) etc need indenting
Page 169 Text Boxes - Point 4 refers to Page 169 rather than "below"
Page 169 Create a new outline level. The sentence after point 5 reads 
"different outline style.," I am guessing that should be a full stop only
Page 174 Creating a new slide master. I think the first sentence should begin 
"Creating a new slide master"
Page 181 using the Presenter Console. End of first sentence modify to "has been 
connected to your computer".

I'll go back to the start and go over those chapters next.

Cheers

Jean, I know for fact that on Windows is Oracle shown as vendor for Java and as

revoked the free distribution license, since there is now a good replacement.

First of all apologies for the brain explosion. Yesterday I uploaded a copy of 
chapter 5 - getting started with calc, not writer as stated in the email.

Yesterday I did have a look at the writer guide. I have to say I could not find 
once single error. The only comment I would make relates to page 33 - Using 
Master Documents: the 2nd para starting with "Yes..." reveals that master 
documents work but...

Should this be a caution to those unfamiliar?

Hi Tim The thing I usually do is select the file and then in the "Actions" menu 
item, select "Check out". This locks the file, creates another copy in the 
folder, and you take away a copy to work on. Have 'Record changes' enabled when 
you open the document on your system to work on it, change what you think needs 
changing, or make suggestions, leaving comments (Ctrl+Alt+C) giving your 
reasons. Save the file on your system and change the filename by adding an 
underscore, your initials, an underscore and alter the date. So 
_JAS_TL_01Feb13. The date I do this way because I hate those long 
strings of numbers which are messy and differ country to country. When you're 
done, go back to ODF, select the checked out copy in the folder and then in the 
"Actions" menu, select "Check in". Go to the "Feedback" folder, select 'Add 
new' and 'File' and upload your commented file. Once it's uploaded, go to the 
Draft LO 4.0 folder and delete the file from there. Inform the list you've 
uploaded a particular file. This may not be 'by the book' but it's what I've 
been doing, and works. Regards JohnS On 03/02/2013 05:01, Tim Lloyd wrote: >

[libreoffice-documentation] GS4008 - Getting Started With Base

[Tim Lloyd]

I finished going through Dan's draft version of this doc a couple of days ago. 
I notice Jean has now updated the doc into the published folder. Most of the 
handful of glitches I noticed were cleared up by Jean but here are 3 anyway:

P16 Step 3 - Add subform fields

This step is exactly the same as step 1. The only difference is 
I would suggest
This step is similar to  step 1. The only difference is 
P41 - note at the end refers to http where the "h" is in a different colour and 
is in italics.
P43, 3rd para, end of 2nd line - "can be contain" should be "can contain"

Cheers
Tim

Thanks for the heads up John.

 Must remember to look at the whole screen not just the bit in front of me.

 Hi Tim The thing I usually do is select the file and then in the "Actions" 
menu item, select "Check out". This locks the file, creates another copy in the 
folder, and you take away a copy to work on. Have 'Record changes' enabled when 
you open the document on your system to work on it, change what you think needs 
changing, or make suggestions, leaving comments (Ctrl+Alt+C) giving your 
reasons. Save the file on your system and change the filename by adding an 
underscore, your initials, an underscore and alter the date. So 
_JAS_TL_01Feb13. The date I do this way because I hate those long 
strings of numbers which are messy and differ country to country. When you're 
done, go back to ODF, select the checked out copy in the folder and then in the 
"Actions" menu, select "Check in". Go to the "Feedback" folder, select 'Add 
new' and 'File' and upload your commented file. Once it's uploaded, go to the 
Draft LO 4.0 folder and delete the file from there. Inform the list you've 
uploaded a particular file. This may not be 'by the book' but it's what I've 
been doing, and works. Regards JohnS On 03/02/2013 05:01, Tim Lloyd wrote: >

[libreoffice-documentation] Draft LO 4.0 Chapter 4 - Getting started with Writer

[Tim Lloyd]

Hi, I downloaded the writer guide from the ODF website but I could not see any 
obvious way to set status to locked. A quick look at 3.6 shows all this text is 
also current. However...

 P9 "Moving quickly through a document"contains this sentence (below the 
figure):


The Navigation toolbar (Figure 7) shows icons for all the object types shown in 
the Navigator, plus some extras (for example, the results of a  *Find* command).

"shows" and "shown" in the same sentence? "shows icons for all the object types 
 /displayed/ in the Navigator" perhaps?

P12 The paragraph below "Selecting a vertical block of text, the last sentence 
contains a number of "or" clauses. I think these would look better bulleted
 P14 The Caution: 
Use  *Replace All* with caution; otherwise, you may end up with some hilarious 
(and highly embarrassing) mistakes.
Personally I would be emphasising the embarassing while acknowledging, in 
brackets, that the mistakes may be hilarious.

 Cheers
 Tim

Hi,

 I don't know whether I am getting lazy but no further errors to report in

[libreoffice-documentation] LO Writer guide 3.6 chapter 12

[Tim Lloyd]

P344 1st Key in brackets "See example of using an index key on Page 344" could 
read "see example of using an index key below"
 P365 item 2 has the list items g) h) i) j) should be a) b) c) d)

Nit picking: the following Figures show a full stop rather than colon:

 Figure 345 on Page 342
 Figure 346 on Page 343
 Figure 347 on Page 345
 Figure 348 on Page 347
 Figure 349 on Page 349
 Figure 350 on Page 350
 Figure 351 on Page 351

[libreoffice-documentation] LO 3.6 Writer Guide Up to chapter 10

[Tim Lloyd]

Page 264 - Adding A New Theme To The Gallery 1) refers to Fig 263. I think this 
should be Fig 278 on page 263
 Page 266 is blank
 At the end of page 273 point 2) has i) j) which I assume should be a) b)
 Page 295 Point 3 in the note is out of alignment
 Page 302 is blank


 One for the future: at various different points there are references to (eg) 
Ctrl+C & Control+C. this should be standardised and I would suggest using Ctrl+

[libreoffice-documentation] LO 3.6 writer guide

[Tim Lloyd]

You wait for ages and nothing, then 3 come at once...

 P234 3 - e) f) g) h) should be a) b) c) d) I can't help thinking Tom has 
already flagged this but I can't find the email anywhere
 P236 is blank
 P240 Insert Picture Dialog Box point 3 See "inserting an image file below". I 
think this should be "Linking an image file below"

Likewise, happy to be involved. I don't have an ODF authors account yet.

 I am not really sure where to look for work though so any hints would be 
appreciated.

 I'll be happy to be active, maybe even contribute to a rewrite if needed. 
Would probably not be until V4.1, as I notice that LODev 4.0 is nearly finished.

 Hi :)
 I think it's a good idea to rethink some of the documentation but there is 
seldom enough time for it! We need more people actively involved in order to 
help rationalise and streamline the Guides. However, there is other work , such 
as the built-in help and video tutorials that would also be good to look into 
developing through this list. 

 So, don't be shy about asking about the validity of screen-shots or 
suggestions for better phrasings but please don't be discouraged if there is a 
lack of immediate response!

Hi, I am not sure whether all these are of use. Tell me what isn't and I will 
back off in future:

 Page 28 contains a figure with no label in the Password Protection section
 Page 42 contains a table with no label
 Page 46 contains 2 references to Figure 36, the first should be Figure 35 
(Click the options button...)
 Page 49 contains a table with no label
