I downloaded ... StylesReferenceV2_9Mar05_JHW.sxw
That is where I am working. It will be a bit slow, as I am still trying to understand what is going on and how I might help.
The first question I had was on ScreenShots. That has been answered.
The next may seem rather picky or even ignorant but:
When I opened the chapter, it had the appearance of a stand alone document, the cover page, the copyright notice and the table of contents. However, in the "Overview" (should this be changed to "Introduction"?), there is a reference to 2 other chapters. So is this a 41 page chapter, of Reference, or a standalone reference document?
Each chapter is published standalone as well as part of a book. That is why the chapter has a title page, copyright notice, and table of contents. When the chapter becomes part of a book, the copyright notice and ToC are removed, but the title page remains.
What is the best way to refer to the referred chapters? Just by name or name and number or what ??
Refer to other chapters by name only, because the number may change, and we sure don't want to have to go through all the docs fixing references! So I say, 'for more information, see the chapter titled "blah blah".' (Put the name of the chapter in quotation marks.) If that chapter happens to be in a different book (which is not common, but does happen), then I would say, "... see the chapter titled "blah blah" in the _Whatever Guide_", with the name of the other book italicized (use "OOoEmphasis" style) .
If this is in a ?? that I should have please point to that so that I might (re)read.
I don't think I've written this up anywhere. Sorry! It should go in the Style Guide.
By the way, while you're reviewing this chapter, it would be really great if you could put it into the new template at the same time.
Cheers, Jean
