OOo Authors are not able to release the getting started user guide
because of a bug (that I incorrectly thought was introduced with 3.3
that also exists in the development build that I installed last week).
Download a zipped copy of the master document and sub-files from here:

If you choose to "update all" or generate a PDF, many of the images are
not included. Oddly, for me, the images appear to be present in the
initial load. On my computer, I see this strong in chapter 3 (I noticed
in others but did not really go looking for them).
I noticed a pattern on the images that did not display:
They are all embedded as a character in a frame.
If you right click on the image you can NOT choose to anchor the image
to the frame (that option is not available).
Looks like I can make the problem go away by changing the "size mode" so
that it is not relative or auto (set a specific size). I make the size
just a wee bit smaller so that the image does not fill the frame
horizontally.
I also set the paragraph style for the paragraph containing the image to
OOoFigure.
When this is done, the frame is a bit larger than the image and the
image appears in the master and the generated PDF

Jean, I carbon copied you since I doubt that you read the dev mailing
list. Have you opened a bug against this? I was not able to find one. I
see the same incorrect behavior in the previous release. Unclear what
the internal problem is. I am careful when I manipulate the file because
it causes my development build to core dump if I mess with the frames
too much.
