Hi :) I didn't know what name people wanted so i just made it like this http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/CheatSheets a\nd put the line at the top to add all the usual menus. I'm not sure how to give it the standard template that automatically generates the Table-of-Contents from the headings but i'm sure soemone else will add it later. Regards from Tom :)
