Hello Jean, I can cover the following: WRITER 41586 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41586> : Shortcut to "repeat" something would be most appreciated (in the appendix of the writer guide and maybe somewhere in the text) 45491 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=45491> : Allow configuration of behaviour when a line break is inserted (this is a new option in the paragraph formatting dialog. Should go in the Writer guide) 74477 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74477> : Preview Web_Html In Writer (in the writer guide, chapter 18) IMPRESS 41800 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41800> : Move along curve not implemented (We have a very high level description of the Impress customized effects but maybe we can make an exception for this one as it is a bit complicated to use) The Insert toolbar has been redisigned (it is an internal task, I don't know exactly what the issue number is) this would require some re-drafting a possibly a new screenshot. The playing of a sound for more than one slide in a presentation was one of the most popular issues. We do not cover this in a great level of detail in the Impress guide but maybe we should. 51636 (associate a sound to an object) is also related. ---- I should be able to provide the proposals for the new text in the next two - three weeks. ---- Besides the chart module, another big improvement which is not documented is the extensions. A lot of work has been done to make them more user friendly. We should try to write a chapter about them, however since the extensions are not specific to one of the components I am not sure where... the GSG maybe? Cheers, Michele
