Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Five chapters of Writer 4.2 Guide awaiting review
Hi :) I am not sure but i think someone, KO(?), is working on Chapter 14 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks#Status_of_tasks_-_WG_-_LO_v4.2 I'm even less sure about Chapter 15, Forms. Peter Goggin expressed interest just before he vanished. So he might be working on it already or might have been distracted by having to sort out his email-client or ISP or something. So if 2 people here could take on one of the 2 other chapters; 12, Table of Contents, Indexes Appendix A, Shortcuts then that would be great. I had a little go at reviewing Shortcut, i mean how hard could that be?! Once again i found myself running into problems that none of the rest of you seem to find at all difficult. I could try blaming Ubuntu or my install on Ubuntu or that my ham-fisted use of LibreOffice over the years has messed up the tool-bars and stuff so much that it's difficult to see what's going on. Really though i just don't know how you folks manage to do it at all, let alone to make it look so easy.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Five chapters of Writer 4.2 Guide awaiting review
I did a review of 14 (Fields), but I may not have handled the paperwork properly. I did not have an account on Authors when I volunteered. I noted three things in my review: 1. A date field was inserted that looked like a mistake. I believe Sophie confirmed it was an error and said she would remove it. 2. I noted that the keyboard shortcuts did not work for me. My guess is that it is a KDE problem. Tom, I thought you were going to confirm this, but I am comfortable with what I found at this point. The questions here is whether the Guide should say anything about this. I think Jean or Sophie needs to make that call. 3. I could not make sense of the section on Conditionals. I could click the buttons and get similar screen shots, but I could not understand exactly what it was supposed to be doing. I can give ti a try again this weekend, but I think this is a section that should be rewritten since it is not at all clear what it is doing. Tom you suggested that would be a good idea, but for a later version of the guide. I will keep this idea on my todo list if that is agreeable to everyone, and see how to offer a rewrite for a future version. So, I did a review of Ch.14 with the above results, but I did not formally do a check-out of the chapter. What should I do now to move this forward? I now have my Authors account so I can log in and do whatever is needed.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Five chapters of Writer 4.2 Guide awaiting review
Hi :) Superb! Good work :)) On page 8 the 2nd bullet-point has sub-points that start on the subsequent page. The bottom of page 9 has a little space so it might be nice to push the last bullet-point on page 8 down a line or so until it's forced to the top of page 9. That sort of thing is more for the proof-reading stage rather than the review stage isn't it? (Sorry, just trying to figure out the boundaries between the different processes) Many thanks and regards from Tom :) On 24 September 2014 16:58, K-J LibreOffice k...@libreoffice.org wrote: Hi Jean, Am 18.09.2014 um 08:17 schrieb Jean Weber: Where is everyone?

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

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Five chapters of Writer 4.2 Guide awaiting review
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.g Regards, On Sat, Sep 20, 2014 at 5:28 PM, Tom Davies tomc...@gmail.com wrote: 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?

I found only two screenshots that I thought needed to be changed. I did them on a Mac, so they don't match the ones from Windows, but I don't consider that a problem. The rest of the book is mainly done with Windows pix, so I see no reason why you can't use them in this chapter from Windows, too, if I missed some that have changed. --Jean On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 4:48 PM, klaus-jürgen weghorn ol o...@sophia-louise.de wrote: Hi Jean, Am 18.09.2014 um 08:17 schrieb Jean Weber: Where is everyone?
