In a very quick look, here are some things I noticed:
1) There is no page footer and no page numbers.
2) Paragraph styles are used inconsistently.
3) IMO, the LibO logo on the cover should be smaller.
4) IMO, explanations of typographic conventions are unnecessary in
guides aimed at ordinary users. It's usually obvious what something is,
and if it's not obvious, then either the something should be written
differently or it doesn't matter. Pages like this are IMO just
space-wasting noise in most books... and especially in individual
chapters.
5) Different colours for the notes/tips/cautions is a nice touch, but I
don't like the gray behind the text on the right: it's harder to read
onscreen than black-on-white and prints out a bit muddy.

I've changed the page styles to the correct ones (mostly), updated the
paragraph styles so they are consistent and made the logo smaller. I
didn't mean for it to sound like I wanted to add a conventions section
to the chapters, just wondering about the formatting they used in the
overall doc. The gray behind the tips text is gone too.
I've noticed that sometimes when I'm applying page styles, they don't
always change (and sometimes I apply a style to one page and it seems to
change the style on another). And after I change the style on one page,
and I scroll to another page that has a different style and click in it,
the highlighted style in the Styles window doesn't change to reflect the
correct style for that page. Does anyone else experience this?
