AHA! you want it as one word! Then you are right, I use two words but I
suppose you want me to fix the errors. Is this correct or are you
willing to go into
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=29679 and help?  BTW, I
meant you to have this link earlier but I see my clipboard fouled up.

Looking at the complete file might look easiest but I suggest that you
collect the latest .odm from the issue and the latest chapters and work
with these. As you complete a chapter attach it to the issue and that
way I can integrate it with anything that I have locally.

About the Troubleshooting HOW-TO, are you willing to take it on? Let me
know either way. The HOW-TO is actually the text from chapter 14 of the
guide massaged for a HOW-TO so I and/or you should keep these in sync.
