I'm very happy with the way this chapter is developing. I think it's getting close to being ready to publish, though I would like to have at least one other person review it (to see if what makes sense to you and me also makes sense to readers). I've gone through your additions and changes and made a few edits (with Record Changes on). Thanks for adding all that new material and improving on what I had done. I also corrected and changed some of the material I had added earlier, some of which I have since discovered was wrong. Just one question remains. You said in a note about the first section of the chapter, which I had titled "Designing a presentation": > Propose to move it to chapter 1: Master Slides are used to > achieve consistency in the presentation rather than to help > planning it. The intention of this section was to say that planning the appearance of a presentation is important so you can then decide how many master slides you need (and what you want on them) to achieve consistency of appearance. So the section might need a different title or slightly different emphasis, but I think it belongs in this chapter... or at least the ideas belong here. I'll think some more about how to change it to be more appropriate for this chapter, or whether to put it elsewhere, as you suggest. Let's discuss this some more. http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/impress/feedback/0502IG-MasterSlides_29Dec06_MZ_JHW.odt After you go through my changes and accept or reject them, please submit the file so it appears on the review list. --Jean
Hello Jean, I am currently busy-busy with chapters 3 (almost done) and 4 (60% or so complete). In chapter 5 (adding graphics) there is a marked overlapping with chapter 2 on the backgrounds section (something we already discussed in the past). I will try to review your changes to chapter 2 as soon as possible, but depending on the decision we make on chapter 4 it may need a serious re-drafting, so I think it is still a bit too early to think about publishing. I have a couple of other issues more in general on the Impress Guide, but I will submit them in a different thread some time in the near future (on holidays abroad with limited internet connectivity until early January). Cheers, Michele
