Hi :)
The Macros chapter's Pdf needs replacing fairly quickly. At the moment it shows
editing changes with deleted text in red and scored through with a line.
The Odt is fine, it's just the Pdf that's gone wonky.
I used Alfresco to get rough dates onto the wiki fairly fast. Now i am getting
the dates more accurate by looking at the Pdfs which is why i noticed the
problem. I will "keep an eye out" to see if there are similar problems
elsewhere but i think it was just a "one off".

I suppose that I have good news and bad news... Hey, it is the same
news..... It works for me and looks fine.
I do take exception to a few items that were done while converting this
from OOo to LO (as it were); and perhaps a few dumb things that I may
have done, but, I won't bother to go back and check. Note, I only looked
at the PDF.
The last page recommends that the user goes here for help:
http://wiki.services.LibreOffice/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide
I see two issues with this. First, the link showed in the text does not
exist. Second, if you look at the link associated with this text, it
takes you to something other than what the text states, name,
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide. If
LO has a site, then point to it. If LO does not have a site, then leave
the OOo site. My guess is that this was simply a global text search and
replace. [note to self, try to not do this, then I would look really
silly]. Note, on closer inspection, at least four links have been
incorrectly set by this. Oh, I see another in Table 1 on page 18.
I found the very last text a bit amusing for this chapter:
Printed and eBook materials
The following books are available for download:
And then, nothing is listed. Just a wee bit amusing. Unclear what should
go there, but, some of the previous links may be useful.
The screen shots showing OpenOffice.org macros rather than Libreoffice
macros in screen shots of the macro organizer are probably fine, but,
they are wrong. Lots of work to fix those... One example is Figure 6.
A glaring omission in the document is that it does not mention that LO
requires that recording macros must be enabled (Tools > Options >
LibreOffice > General and then check "Enable experimental (unstable)
features). That is not required in OOo.
Any idea when the extensions library for LO will be online? It is
referenced, but it takes you to a WIKI.
In retrospect, I should have just grabbed the ODT file, tracked changes,
and started typing.... DUH! but I think that my computer time is
finished for most of the rest of the evening.
