Hazel, Your copyediting skills would be greatly welcomed by the LibreOffice Docs team, so I encourage you to join that list and also get an account on Alfresco, the CMS being used there. (I can set up an account for you whenever you want.) documentation+subscr...@global.libreoffice.org I'd also encourage you to stay just awhile longer with ODFAuthors, if you're willing to help proofread the PDF of the compiled Draw Guide. However, I don't know when the Draw Guide will be ready for checking. BTW, most OOo-related discussion will probably be taking place on the odfauthors-discuss list, not this one. Speaking of LO... What version of LO are you using? The LO Docs team has just completed the user guides for LO 3.3 (although the Impress and Draw Guides have not been compiled into full books yet) and is just getting started updating the books to LO 3.4, which has some conspicuous differences. As you probably know, LO 3.3.x and LO 3.4.x are being maintained in parallel, so we'll be keeping both sets of user guides. However, we don't expect to be making changes to the LO 3.3.x books except for correcting errors (which include screenshots that say OOo). --Jean -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to authors-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@documentation.openoffice.org with Subject: help
