Good question. No matter what you do, some people will think you're assuming too much and others that you're assuming too little.

I would suggest that a general rule of thumb might be to draw the line at the Getting Started Guide. That is, assume that the user knows Draw to a level equivalent to taht on the GS guide, but not more.

What do you think?

What do our editors think?

Cheers,
Daniel.

I am running into a small problem as I write this. How much knowledge should we expect a person to know about Draw? When it comes to creating slides, most of the toolbars available in Draw can also be used in Impress. Can I refer the reader to the Getting Started with Draw for details on how to use these toolbars, or do I need to add that material in my chapter as well? Should I mention only a few of the simpler ones and refer to the User Guide for the more complicated ones?
