Hi Rick, I have uploaded a reviewed version of the file.
http://oooauthors.org/groups/authors/userguide2/gettingstarted/feedback/What_is_OOo_22Feb05_RB_DC.sxw/file_view You obviously know the subject matter well. But that has caused you to write a rather complex document. In my opinion, it violates the principle of Plain English. That is, using the simplest terms and explanations that will get a point accross. It is hard to overstate the importance of this. I also think that some of your introductory content should be relocated to appendices (e.g. "history of OOo"). We don't want users to feel like they need to know all the details to answer the question "what is OOo?". Don't get discouraged Rick. Things will get easier, I promise. Getting the first chapter published is by far the hardest, because you have to deal with a lot of tech writing issues. The next chapter is easier, and the next one is easier yet. Cheers, Daniel.
