Hello, I'm using Impress version 3.4.5 on OSX, and would like to offer suggestions for the Wiazard's Help pages.
Scenario: Creating a new presentation, and pressing "Help" on Page 2 of the Presentation Wizard. Issue 1: Select a slide design The help text starts with "Allows you to select a slide design for the presentation you selected on page 1 of the Wizard." This is rather redundant -- might I suggest that you just remove this sentence? Issue 2: The next sentence says "In the upper list box you can choose from three slide design types (education, presentation backgrounds and presentations)." On my installation, there are only two slide design types, "Presentation Backgrounds" and "Presentations". I do not see "Education" Issue 3: Can the help be more specific about what the differences are between the output mediums? The help text describes each output medium, but in an almost redundant/meaningless way. For example, "Overhead Sheet" help says "Creates a presentation to be used as overhead transparencies". Okay, that's helpful to know, but what is the difference between all these output mediums? I mean what would be different about choosing "Overhead Sheet" versus "Original" or "Slides" or "Screen"? The help for the "Screen" output medium states "Creates a computer screen presentation only. The screen is adjusted by default.". Does this mean that I won't be able to print it? I have no idea why I would choose this versus "Slide" or the others. I have no idea the impact that choosing this option would have, other than the screen is adjusted by default and that the pres. is for computer screen presentation only. Does this mean I couldn't print the presentation? I don't really know what that means -- Why would I use "Screen" output medium instead of the others? Perhaps if the help would have a sentence or two about /why/ I would choose a specific output medium, or give examples of presentations that use specific output mediums, this would greatly improve the Help section for this step of the wizard. "Slide" output medium's help states "Creates a presentation to be used as slides". What does that mean? I thought that all Impress presentations were to be used as slides? Again, perhaps an example scenario or presentation would be a great help to users like me who are just trying to create a presentation and are following the Wizard. Thanks for listening to my suggestions. --Nate I'd be happy to file a "bug" or "improvement" if someone points me to an easy way to do this.
