I did a review of 14 (Fields), but I may not have handled the paperwork properly. I did not have an account on Authors when I volunteered. I noted three things in my review: 1. A date field was inserted that looked like a mistake. I believe Sophie confirmed it was an error and said she would

Hi :) Superb! Good work :)) On page 8 the 2nd bullet-point has sub-points that start on the subsequent page. The bottom of page 9 has a little space so it might be nice to push the last bullet-point on page 8 down a line or so until it's forced to the top of page 9. That sort of thing is more

Some mistakes remain in that chapter. I will upload a corrected chapter later today. Also, I think the level of detail in the What's New section is too great, and there are too many x-refs to external websites (good to have on the LO website or wiki, but not so good in a book IMO). I would like

HI :) I cant get to a KDE desktop until Monday and even then it's the same one you are using, ie Kubuntu 14.04 Just out of curiosity was that LO pre-installed (or from the repos) or did you download it from the LibreOffice website? My work's reception machine has the one from the LibreOffice

It was from the repos. I only download from the website on Windows. I see that Nino Novak is saying that the KDE desktop is intercepting the calls, which certainly fits what I am seeing. If so, there is nothing to be done except possibly adding an explanatory note in the documentation, but that
