That's what I'm doing for the Getting Started book. I've pulled the
relevant bits out of other chapters, but I haven't written that Appendix
yet. The appendixes in GS and WG will probably be very similar, though
the examples might differ.
If you'd like to write a draft of one or both of the proposed new
appendix, I encourage you to do so. :-) It would also involve moving the
keyboard customisation info from the existing Appendix A, and there may
be some other topics scattered through the book, or missing entirely,
that should go into a new Appendix B.
Of course, if everyone else involved thinks this is a bad idea, we can
ditch it. But my feeling was that having the customisation info
scattered through the book isn't the best way to handle it. Yes, we
should leave a sentence or paragraph in relevant places, with a pointer
to the location of the details, but move all the details to one spot.
Actually, now that you mention it, that does sound like a much better
idea. My addition could be compressed into a Note format, with a link
to the Appendix, which would certainly be much more streamlined.
I also have Chapter 2 checked out, and will start on it in the next
day or so and upload any feedback.
FYI, that chapter deliberately does not include all of the setup info in
the general OOo section of Tools > Options, only those things that I
considered particularly relevant to Writer. Of course, if you think I've
left out something important, please feel free to suggest adding it. :-)
Thanks, I'll keep focus on the relevant topic, in this case Writer, over
other options that may not apply. :)
Sak.
