Just FYI, I'm reviewing the first Chapter of the Impress Guide (0501IG3-IntroducingImpress.odt). I'm not able to check it out because of permissions issues in Alfresco, but I've already contacted Dave about it, and I'm sure it will be cleared up pretty quick. But since I'm not able to check it out at this time, I thought I'd give everyone a heads up. :)
