Hello, I have taken a look at the latest development snapshot release notes here: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/3.0.m14_snapshot.html and as far as I can tell these are the updates we should apply to the Writer user guide:
1) multipage zoom Although in terms of functionality it is a very straightforward new feature to document it is a bit of a pain since in theory we should re-take all the screenshots of the workarea and there may be many in the various chapters. 2) Notes The new notes in Writer look very good and are a vast improvement over the current ones. Although there are still many features that need to be added it makes sense to start documenting and showing a couple of screenshots. 3) Language selection Language selection is now possible without having to use styles. A new submenu allows to change the language in the document either for the selected text, for the current paragraph or for all the text in the document. 4) Cross referencing numbered items and headings This is probably the feature requires the most effor, but it is also the most useful as we heavily xreference headings in our guides and (at least as far as I am concerned) I often wanted to reference a specific numbered item in a guided procedure. 5) Tools > Options > load/save: odf version option An option has been added to allow the user to select the desired ODF version. If I got it right OOo 3.0 will use ODF 1.2 while currently ODF 1.1 is used. This may cause troubles if you try to open a document saved with OOo 3.0 (ODF 1.2) in earlier versions of OOo as some features may not be supported. I am not sure what the issues may be for "normal" users. If someone wants to cover any of these items please let the list know so that we do not end up duplicating the work (the last thing we need given the resources available :-) ). Cheers, Michele
