Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: PING John Cleland: Status of Calc Guide?
Hi Jean Sorry for delay eventually worked out password correct user name was not. I have uploaded the odt file and the pdf file. Thanks to David for offering to help as well. I will look at the Calc guide and update when one of the chapters has changed. I think previous errors are sorted. Have looked through the pdf and think the links work. If they do not please let me know and I will try to sort. One thing I noticed using Acrobat Reader on Windows 7, was that on clicking the links to the screenshots the link went to the text and you had to scroll down to view the screenshot. I am not sure if this is the case using other pdf readers and operating systems. If the title for the screen shot was put on the top of the screenshot then the screenshot would appear in the screen. What about an Html version of the user guide. I think html has the advantage over pdf in that there is a back button which makes viewing easier. If either of the ideas above are accepted then I would be happy to do the work.

Couldn't see how to reset password, do you know how to do this. I can provide you with a new password, which you can then change to one of your choice. Look for a private email from me soon. If Jean hasn't had time to sort out the problem yet, please post back and I'll do it ASAP. John, did you get my email with your changed password? If you're still having problems uploading the .odt file to Alfresco, please put it somewhere else on the web and send a direct URL so one of us can pick it up and upload it. You've done the work; please don't let a technical glitch stop you from sharing it. We're here to help.

If I do see any and they are easy to fix, I'll probably just fix them myself; otherwise I'll let you sort it out. Using LibO or OOo, figure captions can only be put below the figure, unless that's been changed in the latest release. There are manual ways to do this, but AFAIK each causes other problems when exporting to some formats. Also, figure captions are normally placed below in the software docs I'm familiar with. IMO we should leave it as is, at least for now. I'm always concerned about making decisions that are good for one situation without testing to see what if any negative consequences arise in other situations. HTML version? For the wiki, you mean? Or for somewhere else? Using what method to generate it? Please start a separate thread for this topic so the team members are more likely to see it and discuss the proposal. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

If I do see any and they are easy to fix, I'll probably just fix them myself; otherwise I'll let you sort it out. I found a few formatting issues, almost surely to do with something I did wrong with the book template and/or the .odm file. I fixed them in the Calc Guide and will check and revise the .ott and .odm as needed. I did a very quick, random check of some of the cross-references, but didn't find any problems there. It all looks good. I have uploaded the revised CG files (.odt and .pdf) to Alfresco and will soon add them to the wiki. I've deleted your versions, to avoid confusion. Thanks for your work on this. It's very much appreciated. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
