Hi Ilyse,
(all I write here is no strict rule, but an advice. As we all - well,
most of us - are volunteers for OOo, it is up to everybody how much time
he spends working on OOo.)

Am I supposed to visit each bug# in iz to be testing each issue
individually?
In general, it would be enough to follow the test case and see, if *you*
find errors. But the issues are a good advice, as they show the errors,
that other testers found.
At least, once you found an error, you should look at the issues. Maybe
the error is already reported.
for example, for one test the instructions are to display the contextual
menu for aligning data in a field, and make a formatting change choice.
So I chose "center" and the test passed. But when I happened to click on
one of the iz #s I see that the bug was for "justified" and "filled" (I
have no idea what the difference is!, but that's besides the point)
Oh, I know this issue ;-) In fact this is a bug. But 99.9% of our users
would not use this feature.
so, IOW, is following the instructions in the TCM enough?
yes.
or, am I supposed to visit each of the iz#'s to see SPECIFICALLY what to
test?
The Issues are the results of previous tests, not the instructions for
your test. But as said before, they may give hints.
Let me give an example, what some members of the german qa-team do.
First the test is done following the description. Afterwards, the issues
are checked, if they still exist. Then a comment is left in the comment
field (e.g. Issue xyz is for japanese localizations only).
This is more work for the tester, but very helpful for the manager (me
in this case). But as said, we are all volunteers and I cannot command
you to do more work, just to reduce mine (But I'd be very thankfull for it).
