The most important thing is that instructions should be *understandable* for the audiences we target. In my own professional work, when I know I'm addressing people with a certain level of understanding of a subject, I sometimes use different terms for the same thing to arrive at a nice, natural writing style - you don't want to sound too wooden. Provided that it doesn't create a source of confusion for your readership, I think it's OK. My 2 cents. Anyway, we give it our best shot, and then the proofreader can always make adjustments. ;-) I'll be there to help out just as soon as I've sent my current job back to the client (deadline on Monday). ;-) David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Things like that, of substance, seem to me worth doing now, unlike some of the cosmetic stuff. But if others think I should skip it for now, that's okay with me. David, what do you think?

I'm working on Chapter 4, Formatting Pages. I thought I'd be done by now, but I've found what I think is a feature that's not in OOo: Format > Title Page, and I want to write it up.
