[libreoffice-documentation] Need a volunteer to compile the Impress Guide

This isn't urgent, though it would be nice to get it done in the next few weeks. As with all documentation, the sooner the better IMO... especially with a product that is updated as frequently as LibreOffice. The full Impress Guide needs to be compiled from the individual chapters, using the maste

[libreoffice-documentation] Draw Guide Chapter 7 needs some replacement pix

This is the correct note about Chapter 7. Both Chapter 7 and 10 can use some help, if anyone thinks it's important enough. Some of the pix in DG Ch 7 use "OpenOffice.org" as sample text. As with the Fontwork pix in Ch10, I don't see this as a big drama to leave them as is in the first edition o

[libreoffice-documentation] Draw Guide Chapter 7 needs some replacement pix

Some of the pix in DG Ch 7 use "OpenOffice.org" as sample text in the demonstration of using Fontwork. Personally I don't see this as a big drama to leave them as is in the first edition of the book, and I don't have the energy to replace them, so if someone wants to do the work -- SOON -- please g

Regardless of whether the Writer Guide is in 1 or 2 volumes, topics are missing that need to be written, either as WG chapters or as separate documents: * Linking or embedding spreadsheets, audio, and video in Writer documents * Using Xforms (we have an outdated tutorial by J David Eisenberg which

[libreoffice-documentation] Proposed Revision of Writer Guide

Earlier (around the end of June) I proposed changes to the Getting Started guide. That generated some discussion, and someone is working on a draft revision. Now I am proposing that we split the Writer Guide into two volumes, as follows: 1. Essentials This volume would contain most of what is in
