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!
We use the stable release to *write* the guide (because, because it's
stable. :-) But the guide covers OOo 2.0. So, if you wish to verify
the factual accuracy of the document, you need to grab the beta. But
of course, there's no requirement that you do that. You could just
focus on another aspect of a review. For example, when I review
chapters I focus on whether it is clearly explained. Other reviewers
tend to focus on different things.
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.
Indeed. I have learned that my own ignorance has been very valuable
when reviewing other people's chapters. For precisely the reasons you
state. :-)
Good to have you here Perry. Thank you for comming to help.
Cheers,
Daniel.
Hi Perry!
Welcome!! I too run 1.9m104 on Windows. I don't dare install it on my
RHEL machine. That is for stable releases only. If there is anything
I can do to help, just yell. I freelance from home so I am in front of
my computers 18 hours or more per day. The file I am running can be
found here:

You want to grab the Win32Intel file for Windows.
