I have cc'd the Documentation mailing list on this reply, because someone on that list might be able to help you or know where the info you want is in the material we have produced already. For example, most of the user guides have tables of keyboard shortcuts in an appendix at the back (copied and slightly modificed from the help file). --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-marketing] Wiki Page - Writer - Quick Reference Guide and Cheat-sheet
Thought it would be better to start a new thread for this. . . . I have been doing some work on the "Writer - Quick Reference Guide and Cheat-sheet" http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/CheatSheets page. Tom created the Wiki page for me and I am starting to fill out the different "outlined" sections. I spent a bit of time on the "Supported Document file formats" and "Working with the Tools - Options Menus" sections. I do not remember the three/four letter "mime extensions" for some of the formats, so I hope someone can let me know what they are. I hope the "boxes" in the "Working with the Tools. . . " section under the "LibreOffice" > "General" > "Help" sub-section will show up on other people's browsers [and this email]. ? Tips ? Help Agent ? Extended Tips There should be a "box" before each of the three options there. It shows that these are check-box options, and will have that noted in the text somewhere. I hope other will help me fill in the information in this Wiki Page. I have no problem with people emailing me off list ["webnas...@libreoffice-na.us" or "webmas...@krackedpress.com"] with information to be included. It would be nice to have the text ready for copy/paste to Writer, and then after some simple editing/spell-checking/etc., then it will be copy/paste to the Wiki page. If someone has a list ofKeyboard Shortcuts or other "solutions and/or answers" then it would help the task of creating this page go faster. AFTER the Wiki page is far enough along, then the information on the page[s] will be formatted to an .odtand/or .pdf file of 6, 8, or 10 page Quick Study Guide and Cheat-Sheet. That "Quick Guide" will be online for anyone to download, print and use. Personally, I would like to laminate the "sheet" so it will not get crumpled or mangled with use. The "professional" guide you buy are most always laminated. The ones I buy are. So, let us help out the Document Writers and createthis "Writer - Quick Reference Guide and Cheat-sheet". Any one who wants to start working on the Calc, Draw, Impress, Math, and Base sheets, be my guest. I think they will need to be on there own pages though. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hello Robert, People don't buy Libreoffice. The ads would not be used to raise money but to drive adoption and.increase brand recognition. Best. Charles.
