When reviewing a chapter, another thing to check is references to other parts of the chapter. Occasionally a writer has typed in the name of a section instead of using OOo's cross-referencing feature. Reviewers should either correct the problem (by converting the hard-coded x-ref to an automatic one) or notice if the referenced topic is not in the chapter.

I just discovered such an error in a chapter that has recently been reviewed by two people, neither of whom reported the problem, although there was nothing even remotely like the x-ref'd topic in the chapter. I don't expect reviewers to know where missing topics have gone, but I do expect them to make a note that the referenced topic isn't there.
