Hi :) Most documentation just confuses people so copying what they use probably wont help us. If we are going to look at documentation then a community edited one would be better, such as Ubuntu's but it would need to be regularly edited bynoobs rather than by geeks so perhaps Ubuntu's might

Yeah but it's a bit posh or sci-fi. I like it but then i also liked Defying Gravity and that was so unpopular it only lasted 1 season. There are some great suggestions in this thread so i think they should be in a glossary. Perhaps we shouldn't try to be too consistent because people can

2011-02-18 Thread Hal Parker
Neither Barbara nor I have been able to access the Record macro command on the Tools Macros menu. Does anyone know why this is disabled (greyed out)? And, more importantly, how I can enable it? I have looked in my settings to see if some option is set to prevent using this feature, but I can't

[libreoffice-documentation] Writer Guide reviews

2011-02-18 Thread Hal Parker
From what I've seen, JDlugosz is doing a great job of suggesting improvements to the Writer Guide, but responding adequately to some of those suggestions (especially those regarding rewriting sections) will slow down production of the first edition quite a bit. I suggest that we make those

[libreoffice-documentation] LibreOffice 3.3.1 Release Candidate 2

2011-02-18 Thread Hal Parker
LibO 3.3.1 is a bugfix release. RC2 is now available. Is anyone on the Docs team using it? Should we be using it in preference to 3.3.0? As a bugfix release is it likely to have new features? Wish I had time to keep up with some of the other lists; I might know the answers to my own questions.

Hi, Just to cause the team more issues. LibO 3.3.1 has some different icons. The new LibO set. So for the ones who worry about the pictures etc. they may want to have a look see. I do not think anything else much has changed. Regards Ian On 19/02/11 9:19 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I

When attempting to define the list of items to appear in a List box form control, Barbara and I can't work out how to get the list items to be selectable in a drop-down list. The instructions in Chapter 15 of the Writer Guide don't work: the whole list appears on one line when the dropdown arrow
