Hi :) I agree with Hal about this now that he said it. Box does make more sense as being something for user-input.

I'm using the control table on the wiki, downloading from there, working on the chapters, then uploading them again and updating the control table. I really haven't gone into Alfresco much, I haven't been duplicating them there because I have a pretty much knee-jerk dislike of having multiple copies of the "same" thing -- I saw that cause too much havoc during my working career! > Is anyone actually using ODFAuthors for LibreOffice docs?

As I understand it, we'll be moving over strictly to Alfresco at some point, but for now we're just playing there and using the wiki for the official work. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
