I wanted to do the capture with Gimp, but I only have it on Linux and
needed to do a Win capture to make sure it matches the others in the
chapter.
Where do I upload the graphic?

Hi Jean,
I've been doing some work on the Master Documents chapter. I'm
having
trouble finding the instructions on the oooauthors site for updating
a
screen capture. Can you point me to the instructions?
Thanks,

Read Chapter 8 in WG and also read the tutorials for your application.
You should use enough resolution or otherwise the substitution might
have lower quality. I thought my 32- bit BMP shots appeared better than
the 24- bit PNGs, but again, that was my perception.
I use SnagIt 7-- probably the industry standard for screen captures.
If
do not have any software, try a free evaluation of SnagIt 8 (assuming
you're using XP). Also you can use the open- source GIMP for graphics
too, but you don't need it.

Well Jean can provide better info than me, but she's still on vacation
for a few days. From the top of my head, you could (1) mention to the
maintainer what figure(s) needs updating, (2) email it or upload it to
the Feedback folder as a file, or (3) embed it yourself following the
information in the OOo docs and your software. I chose the first option
for the present, especially for any Linux screen captures because my
other system with Linux is down and I'm using a ThinkPad without Linux.
SnagIt is really convenient to use, so I use it for all XP shots. Try
the free 30-day download.
