Rick --

No argument.

I guess at this point I see myself faced with two choice. Go into greater depth on the printing, graphing, styles and other chapters and not have DataPilot or Goal Seek done.

Or, live with an adequate version of the a fore mentioned chapters and put something together for the the later chapters. What's nice about publishing this manuals predominantly online is that they are never "done." So, if we put out version 1 of the the Calc Guide without every check box and cost benefit analysis of every option in, I think it will be okay.

Ultimately it will be decided by how many people want to help. Right now it is me and you on the Calc Guide and that is about it. (Not to exclude Jean's help or the future help of Richard but as far as maintainers and people with an interest in Calc.)

I also don't know how deep is enough versus too deep. We could make a 1000 page manual if we tried really hard, and is that really what we want? I don't know. Again, that is the nice thing about publishing on-line. We can very easily have chapter 4 creating a chart in Calc and chapter 13: Advanced application of charts and graphs in Calc. Either way all it costs is a little bandwidth. Maybe that is the answer. Time will tell.

Good discussion. Have a nice night,
Peter
