Hi :) Except screen-shots in Windows can't have any useful arrows or circles to point out the exact thing being talked about in the documentation. They can't even be cropped to show off particular areas. Icons can't be shown (?) (without altering the screen-shot??) and we have to get permission to use any of the standard MS fonts.
So, the documentation's screen-shots in Windows can only be as unhelpful as the screen that made the user want to dig into documentation because they couldn't find what they were looking for. Screen-shots in Ubuntu (or Mageia or whatever) can have a tight focus showing a tiny area much "larger than life" and include arrows or circles/ovals so that people can really spot the useful part of the screen.

I see nothing there indicating that images of a LibreOffice window or dialog cannot be used, and in fact I see clear indications that even shots of a whole screen displaying only LibreOffice and the Windows desktop are acceptable. > It is a no-brainer : either ask in MS writing, consult an attorney for > each territory of interest (expensive no doubt, and possibly > unsatisfactory, with fairly heterogeneous answers), or just plain don't > use MS's stuff. I profoundly disagree with this excessive over-caution.
