Hello Paul,

Thanks for the thorough review. I have gone through your proposed editorial
changes and accepted all of them. I expect Jean to be somewhat unhappy
with the change from "xxxx page" to "xxxx tab" since she was the one
changing "tab" into "page" when she first reviewed the chapter.
I will cover the access to the connectors dialog as well as add a figure
where you requested one (actually I might re-do all the screenshots which I
mistakenly made using the gnome customized icons set for OOo).

Regarding the comments on duplication of material (e.g. the use of
Fontwork), this is a policy decision and therefore I think that it should be
again up to Jean to decide.

Personally I find useful to have self-contained books, i.e. reading the
Impress Guide a user should be able to have a grasp of all the basic
features without having to refer to other books. If you look at chapter 1 of
the Impress Guide for example you will find that a good 50% of the contents
is shared with the Getting Started with Impress chapter of the Getting
Started Guide. Also, apart from the Draw Guide (Impress is a kind of forking
of Draw so the dependencies are enormous), I always tried to reference other
books in Tip or Notes rather than in the main body.

As I said I am not sufficiently familiar with the policy adopted in other
books, so before uploading the chapter I will wait for Jean's decision on
what to do with the Fontwork section and other sections which are already
covered in other books.

Cheers,

Michele
