Hi Jean,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry it took so long for mine but I was in Hong Kong
for Chinese New Year and just got back on Sunday. I would definitely be
interested in working with Calc. I currently use it to store my client's
information and wanted to investigate the more advanced features including
using BASIC. This may be an obvious question but how would you recommend I
get started?
I'm in New Zealand for most of February, with limited Internet access,
so I hope Gary, Michele, and others can answer most of your questions.
To get started, I suggest reading some of the material mentioned (and
linked to) from the OOoAuthors first page: in particular the style
guide, writers' guide, and chapter template.
For Calc specifically, go to the UserGuide 3 - Calc section of the
website (sorry, I don't have the exact address handy) and look up the
outline. It's quite general in places, not listing all the topics
planned or written, but should give you an idea of what's happening with
the book.
You might like to start by reviewing any of the Calc chapters that are
on the Review List (lower left-hand column of the website's front page
after you log in), before plunging into writing a chapter or completing
one of the partially-written or partially-revised ones.
