I agree. For example Chapter 10 would benefit from a mention of the "sticky" template option i.e. the possibility that OOo offers to update the document if the underlying template has been modified. The Keyboard shortcuts annex (for some reason called Chapter 19 rather than chapter 17) would need to be updated as there have been some changes in the shortcuts. Until chapter 11, besides changing the template I tried to review also the text and the screenshots but for the last 5 chapters I just blindly applied the changes of styles and re-formatted the numbered lists. > > It's good we're going thorough through Chs 1 & 2, of course, since > there were lots of little changes in the program that affected those, > and you caught several things that I missed.

I wrote something about the difference between ODF 1.2 and ODF 1.0/1.1 in the section on numbered lists either in chapter 3, 6 or 7 and missed completely the change in the options in chapter 2... sorry!
