I've reached point 7 so far. There may be inaccuracies in some of the terms in English compared to the actual menus, because the Designer crashed LO completely on my Mac when fiddling with the fields from my sample db. Also, some of the functionality being described I have never actually used, so caveat emptor. I don't know whether those functions still work properly, in particular the inserting charts bit, because I remember there being a problem with them early on in 3.4 development and conflicting with Calc, so Kohei or Markus may well have changed things in that area which have had an impact on the ability to insert and use charts in Base reports. I'm perfectly happy to let someone else take over as when they get time, but I'll be slowing down for a while here, I don't have much "LO" time around at the moment. At least half a translation is better than no translation :-)) Alex -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

That could well have been me (I don't remember now which ones exactly I did, just looked at the list, clicked, if it led nowhere, then copied over the French text and translated it. So proofreading would probably be a good idea.

Surprising! I made one change: "create mode" to "Edit mode" in one discussing modifying a form. "How can I add a subform to a form?": inaccuracy about how to use design mode to do this.
