I'll look at that when I can, Marc, but to be honest I don't think there is much if any overlap between the screenshots necessary/appropriate for the website and marketing efforts, and the screenshots necessary for the user guides. I have no objection to using the same standards if they work for both situations, but I don't see any real reason or need for conformity beween the two. Of course, I may be missing something. And, also of course, it's not my decision. I'm only an opinionated, outspoken advisor. :-) --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
