A follow-up, Jean. We might have to use Linux for the screen shots: if you look at Figure 7 you will see that the 'E' looks like an 'F', making the instruction to place the cursor to the right of the 'E' somewhat moot! This is also the case as I'm creating the new set of screen shots, so it looks like a flaw in the dialogue rendering under Windows (XP at least).

Oh, bother. I had forgotten about that problem, which has been around since OOo2.0 was first released. I suspect it won't be fixed in OOo v2.1 (which is due out this coming week), as it's not a bug that affects the functionality. I don't have the Release Candidate for 2.1 installed on WinXP, or I would check.

Under Debian Linux ('Etch') the dialogues render correctly.

Any thoughts?

If you or Carl or someone can redo all the dialogs in this chapter using Linux, that would be great. The only other choices I can see are to redo the Insert Insert/Table dialogs in Linux and leave the others alone, or just redoing the problem dialogs in Linux -- either of which means inconsistent figures in this chapter.

I personally don't mind having a mix of operating systems for the figures in a chapter, but as a group we've decided to be consistent within any one chapter.

Cheers, Jean
