Hope this finds everyone well...
Re: *Getting Started*, I'm continuing my proofreading; averaging 50 or so
pages a day. So far, no obvious spelling / punctuation / other
proofreading-type errors. There are a few word choices that could be
improved, I think. But other than that nothing needs corrected; it's very
nicely done.
I'm going to continue with this practice, put together a set of suggestions
for wording, and also possibilities for entries in a glossary. Will keep
you posted.

Michele;
Thank you so much for your help with this. I look forward to seeing your
list of suggestions.
For future reference, Writer, the word processing component of
OpenOffice, has a feature to record and show changes that we make use of
in the documentation. It is turned on until the document is ready to be
published. and all changes are marked with a color unique to each person.
If you look closely at the Writer chapter in the Getting Started Guide,
and also in the Writer Guide you should get a better understanding of
the particulars of the program. Also if you have any questions on
OpenOffice or on how we use Git, ask them here and we will be ore than
happy to give you any help that we can.
Regards
Keith

I do see problems with the figures when I use the menu Insert -> File on
a
blank document to insert AOO41GS2.odt. Instead of a problem with one
figure, I saw problems with figures 2,4,11,12, and 17. The document
showed
a placedholder rather than the actual figure. I could delete the
placeholder and copy and paste the figures from the chapter file in most
of
the cases. For figures 12 and 17, I had to delete the frame intended to
hold the figure, delete the placeholder (which was somehow not in the
frame), insert a new frame, and then copy over the figure from the
chapter
file.
If you turn on View -> Nonprinting Characters, you can see that figures
12
and 17 are unusual. The figure caption is preceded by several empty
paragraphs. I bet I did something wrong when I inserted those figures
long
ago.
I inserted AOO41GS3.odt without any problems.

Hi Francis;
Thank you for looking into this. The files to be used are all at the top
level. The ones in ForWiki, already have all the front matter in them
and are strictly to create the PDFs and chapter files for distribution
on the mwiki.
The problem was with figure 4 in AOO41GS2, which would be figure 5 in
the complete book.
If you can correct whatever you find and finish compiling the book it
would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

I'll try to compile the complete book later today. To make sure we are
working with the same files, please confirm that:
1. You are using the template file AOOdoc.ott from the Templates branch
2. The odt chapter files are in the Getting-Sarted-Guide branch in the
ForWiki folder
3. The Aoo41GSFrontMatter.odt file is the one at the top level of the
Getting-sarted-Guide branch.
Which figure in chapter 1 is causing problems?
Regards,
Francis

I am having difficulty compiling the Complete book for the Getting
Started Guide. All the chapters except Chapter 1 (AOO41GS2) Compile
perfectly. There is one figure in chapter 1 that does not come through
properly. It is there in the Chapter file, but not the the complete
book. If one of you could try to compile it and see if there is still a
problem it would be greatly appreciated.
The way I have been doing it is to create a blank writer file from the
AOO Template and then insert the chapters along with any manual breaks
as needed, then at the top insert Aoo41GSFrontMatter.odt which contains
the Tittle Page, Copyright Page and a blank TOC.
Thank a lot for the help
Regards
Keith
