I agree with Dick's plan. Thanks for volunteering to start the
revisions.
I will not be able to help with that during this coming week but I
might be
able to the following week.
I looked briefly at the text near Fig. 15 where Jean noted an
error. It
seems the paragraph styles are used correctly in that list but the
previous
list slightly earlier in the document ends with the style OOo List
1 Cont
instead of OOo List 1 End. Maybe that is enough to cause the problem?

OK, to cut things short:
I will go over the chapters in the GitHub ForWiki folder, trying to
eliminate the errors I find.
After checking all the chapters I will assemble a PDF to see what
happens
if I make an ODM from the fixed chapters.
Meanwhile I would suggest to withdraw the published PDF from the
mwiki

Jean;
[...] What sort of formatting errors are you seeing?
Here is a sample of some things I found. There are many, many more.
PLEASE NOTE that most of these problems are in the full book, but
NOT
in the chapter files.
There are many inconsistent uses of numbered and/or bulletted lists
throughout the book, probably due to incorrect/inconsistent style
use.
I am not going to itemize all of them, but here are some examples
from
Chapter 1.
Page 19, at the top is a paragraph numbered 1), but the paragraph
just
before Figure 15 on page 18 should be 1) and this paragraph 2).
Further down, there is another paragraph numbered 1), as it
should be,
but the next paragraph does not have a number, even though it is
part
of the same procedure; it should be 2).
Further down, under Saving a Document Automatically, the two final
paragraphs are a procedure and should be numbered 1) and 2).
Page 20, the use (or not) of bullet points is inconsistent, and the
final paragraph is centered but should not be.
A few random examples from other chapters, after which I gave up
looking.
Page 72 (in Chapter 3), under Adding a Movie or Sound, there is an
un-numbered procedure. Further down is an item in a different
procedure numbered 3), but the other items in that procedure have no
numbers.
Under Using Mail Merge, several items should have bullet points.
Page 81 (in Chapter 4), there is an item numbered 4), but the other
items in the procedure have no numbers.
Page 115, list begins with 4) but the actual first list item is not
numbered.
Some lists use numbers followed by a closing parenthesis; some use
numbers followed by a period (full stop). Again, inconsistent style
use, though trivial compared to the random use of numbering at all.
Other formatting errors are in the chapter files as well as the full
book. Examples (there are many others):
Page 8, the Note is formatted differently from Notes, Tips, Cautions
in other chapters.
Page 20, the final paragraph is incorrectly tagged as OOFigure,
so it
is centered but should not be.

Thanks Francis.
Found and fixed the error near Figure 15.
Have to wait how it tunrs out though :-)
In parallel I tried a new tack. I created the pdf direct from the odm
file after removing the toc. It can be found in the forwiki folder.
Keith
delete that. It has problems as well.
All ODT files should be checked at the top level. Those in the wiki
folder are just copies of the originals.
Dick and Francis. How far have you gotten?
Regards
Keith

Just completed checking and repairing the files in the ForWiki folder.
I'll try to build an ODM and PDF today
If all is well then we can replace the top level files by the fixed
ones, since
they were mere copies of the top level ones I presume.
