We've had constant debates about this at OOoAuthors. I (and a few others) think "box" is just noise but the consensus seems to be to continue using it. Some of the OOo books use "dialog" and some use "dialog box" but we'll probably start moving them all to "dialog box" while updating them. > 2) Chapter 2 is entitled "Setting up".

We tried to stick to common terms, and "setup" is, I think, commonly used worldwide. Configuration is a more formal term that IMO sounds very geeky to many people. > In either case, I'll be happy to propagate the associated changes in > the other docs if there seems to be a green light... --Jean -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/documentation/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
