I added more content to your chapter. Specifically about the Navigator
and linking data...I also changed some info that was inaccurate and
revised some of the content I added before. It was done quickly and it
rather late for me tonight so check it well.
I also noticed that the numbered steps showing how to perform tasks was
fairly brief, too brief I believe. You might want to ask Jean about
this. I added some "meat" to the DDE linking section, but I'm not sure
if this is what we want in this chapter...It could be OK...I've been
wrong before!

Rick,
One of Dick's and my questions is whether to keep the section on
Number Recognition which really isn't about differences between
Calc and Excel. I have not had time to look in the Calc Guide to
see if this is covered there, though I would expect that it would
be. Perhaps it's not needed in the Migration Guide? Opinion?
There is precedent for moving stuff out of the Migration Guide,
btw. Some time ago, I removed some longish sections from the
General Differences and Writer-Word chapters some time ago; I
think that info ended up in the Getting Started book and/or the
Writer Guide.
When I get a chance, I'll look at the numbered steps you
mentioned. Most of the Migration Guide is rather more tersely
written than are the other books. I keep making small changes,
adding the occasional screenshot, etc to make it more readable,
but it's definitely different and could use a complete overhaul,
if anyone ever had the time.
Cheers, Jean
