(I'm supposed to be doing some wiring in the barn, so I'm back
and forth to the keyboard, somewhat, presently.)
Earlier, you commented:
Good to see you here and welcome to OOoAuthors...
Thanks
If you have the ability (basically the disk space, about 200mb) to run a
concurrent version of the OOo version 2 beta, download the latest
release from here:
http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
There are good instructions there on how to set it up, and it is a snap
with Windows...the Linux setup (rpm based) is not that great.
I can do it on my PC (Windows 2k). Space is not an issue.
However, when I went to the link you provided, I was a bit
confused. I thought that I read on a page - yesterday - that
only stable builds were being used for Manual purposes. Am
I missing something? Your comment (above) refers to a beta.
Please clarify that for me before I download the wrong file!
This page,
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/contribute#review, has all
the info you will need to get started, but you will still need some
help...I did, but that's what the mailing list is for.
I'll have a look-see later.
One comment: I have abundant ignorance available. (Not joking)
I have always found that s/ware analysis is best done by an idiot.
As in someone confronting the program for the first time. A user
with experience has too many sub-conscious presumptions. I have
used OO a few times, but that's all. If I can start on v2 from scratch,
I'm more likely to spot lapses in instructional sequences.
An analogy is trying to proof-read one's own prose compositions:
very difficult. The mind "sees" what the eyes don't.
