To me it wouldn't no. The most common way to use Math is to embed formulae in text documents. By forcing artificial symmetry, the guide would become less useful. This reminds me of something I read once: "There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequals" When it comes to Math, the components Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress and Base are not equal. I would say that: * Writer should have a significant chapter. * Draw and Impress should have a "fair" chapter. * Calc should have a mention. * Base should have nothing. That would correspond more or less to how I think Math is actually used. > I haven't read your Math write up in the Writer guide, but I'm sure it > is thorough, yet to the point... I like it :-) The second half of the chapter is a collection of tables, reference style. Perhaps *those* can be removed, but we could keep the explanation itself. How's that? > I hope I haven't riled the vegans out there with the revelations of my > past... Nah. Personally I'm a meat-saurus and I oppose the murder of vegetables. :-) Cheers, -- Daniel Carrera | I don't want it perfect, Join OOoAuthors today! | I want it Tuesday. http://oooauthors.org |
