I hereby declare the 2nd edition of Getting Started with OOo3
published. The individual chapter files, in ODT and PDF, are on the
OOoAuthors site, and the PDFs are on the wiki. Later I'll put the ODTs
on the wiki too.
http://www.oooauthors.org/english/userguide3/gs3/V32_published
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters
For ease of download by people who want all the files, I have also
made zip files of all the ODTs and all the PDFs; they are on the
OOoAuthors site & will later go on the wiki.
I have not yet put the full, compiled book (in either ODT or PDF) on
either of the websites, but that will come soon, when the printed copy
has been published. (I don't want to give the other person selling our
books on Amazon a head start by handing them the PDF to work with.) If
you desperately need a copy now, let me know and I'll tell you where
you can get it. Or I suppose I could put it on the OOoAuthors website
but visible only to people with Author privileges.
Or you can build the full book yourself from the master doc -- just be
warned that some things don't behave themselves, in particular some of
the cross-references (which are ok in the chapter files) go wrong when
those are subdocuments of a master doc. I suspect the problem lies in
the convoluted history of some of the files, which began in OOo1.x --
but that's another story. I tidy these up after I export the master
doc to ODT; it's tedious and I always miss some... and I'm not
convinced they stay fixed after I close the file and reopen it.
Lastly, apologies to the translators. I have not provided files with
tracked changes, as I said I would. Many of these files have been
through so many reviews and revisions since V3.0 that the change
tracking became too difficult to work with, so I kept accepting all
the changes each time and working from there. If someone would like to
run Compare Documents on each chapter and put the result into another
folder under Getting Started 3, that would consolidate all the changes
into one set. I'd do it, but I really want to get working on the other
books.
