Hi,
Happy holiday weekend. It's been drizzly and gray here in Cocoa,
Florida,
but in the 80s rather than 90s, so who can complain?
I retracted Chapter 3, thinking from the email chatter on Base that
Kathy
had Chapter 1 and John might take down Chapter 2.
I have just uploaded my review of Chapter 3 Base into the Feedback
folder,
with a request for feedback on the first 12 pages of my
review/edit. I left
a note about my questions in the description/summary section
provided on the
upload page. I jumped into this and could use some guidance.
I'm not sure who to PING on this (that's the term for calling a
particular
person's attention to the email?), but it's Daniel and Zoltan's
work, and
TJ's name is on the file folder.

What you did was fine. Since I am the author of this chapter you
could have pinged me.
I have downloaded your work and will review it this week. Presently I
only have Internet access a couple of times a week, it will take some
time for me to reply after the review.

I have looked over your work a little more thoroughly. The
results were the same: outstanding job! What I would like for you to
do if you can find the time is to do a similar addition to the part
about creating forms as you did about
creating table. Use the same outline: a general description in words
as to how to create forms. This general description should precede the
detailed examples I have already given. I really think that this will
make the chapter so much better than it is right now.
A couple of points that I noticed: what I called the main
Document Window is incorrect as you noticed. OOo Help uses the term
Database file window. I have done a Find and Replace on the copy that
I downloaded from the website. A second point: I use the term dropdown
list because of what is contained in the Field Properties dialog that
opens when you select a field and click the Control icon or right
click the field and select Control from the context menu. For date or
list fields, down near the bottom of the list of field properties is
the dropdown property.
If you want to create a Note, Tip, or Caution, I recommend you
learn to use AutoText. The format for these three are contained at the
end of the OOo3_chapter_template.ott which is available on the website.

Writing New Chapters section.
