Forgot one item:
6) Remove Chapter 13 (Macros) and make it a stand-alone document.

Insert the macros material intact as a chapter into the Writer Guide or
other guides, based upon my assumption that most users do not read
GS in
the first place.
Good idea. Writer Guide. (Calc Guide already has its own chapter on
macros in spreadsheets.)
I am also working on a proposal for changes to the Writer Guide and will
include the Macros chapter somewhere in that proposal.

Based on my experience as a K-12 teacher a decade ago, I know that
kids do not bother to read texts, even if assigned as homework. So,
users will do as much as they can on their own before consulting the
online help or user guides.
One reason for low book sales is that much fewer users will bother to
read books nowadays.

Hi Gary
Some schools do operate on a set programme, for example, at my primary
school, although I teach French Second Language, I am in charge of
teaching Word (Writer) basics to grades 4-5; PowerPoint (Impress) to
grades 6,7 and until a couple years ago, our previous grade 7 teacher
was in charge of teaching Excel (Calc) to grades 8 and advanced macros
in preparation to high school. The "Getting Started Guide" would be a
great addition to any Library collection for student referral/reference.
In my experience, there is still a small segment of the student
population that do read manuals and they usually pass on their knowledge
to others in their class.
I have thus far taught for 18 years as Math, Science and Technology
consultant (primary and secondary schools); classroom teacher; computer
classroom specialist and French Second Language specialist at various
times during these years. I am presently off on disability for crushed
spine and complications but hope to get back to class soon.
Cheers
Marc
