Dear Jean et al
I have uploaded Ch3 of the DG for review.
Only a few screen shots need to be redone and I have
marked them accordingly.
The document has changes switched on so that other NL groups can quickly
see where modifications have been made.
Thanks, Martin, for this and the earlier chapters. I have now fixed
the templates and replaced the files in the Draw Guide folder. I have
not done anything else yet on them and don't expect to have a chance
anytime soon.
Can anyone here replace the screenshots Martin's marked in the Draw
Guide chapters? (Peter Hillier-Brook, are you there?) You'll need to
use a compatible theme on your operating system: something fairly
neutral, not bright blue or brown or whatever, with good contrast. Ask
questions here if you're not sure what to do.
Please tell the list if you've taken one of these chapters to work on,
so someone else doesn't duplicate your effort.

BTW, I started in on technical and copyediting the Calc Guide yesterday,
beginning with Chapter 1. I will post a copy also on my forum site, in
case ***anybody*** wants to make further comments or edits on that
chapter there instead of using the e-mail list so that any posts would
not be transmitted to the entire membership.
I noticed that some names in figures did not agree exactly with the GUI
tooltips. So, whenever any writer is naming any of the GUI terms and
components in the graphic text-lines or callouts or in the text itself,
always first refer to the tooltips in the application and use its exact
term and its capitalization or lack of same. [I suppose that those
translating the localized versions might do the same, but I am primarily
concerned with the English version of the application and its guides.]
Also writers, reviewers, or editors always name the particular dialog
box instead of stating that "a" or "the" dialog box opens when some
toolbar button or whatever is pressed.
When finished with a chapter, I will ping the e-mail list about it.
