Actually, even "tomorrow" was not the day. Those postseason baseball
games leading up to the World Series are still ongoing.
I did finish a somewhat quick single-pass edit of Chapter 10, though but
did not upload it to my website yet. The nags on the administration
control panel on the phpBB3 forum site kept urging me to update to the
latest version over the past several days, so I did that software
updating first yesterday.
Chapter 10 had over 150 edits made to it. I suspect that the original
source file from OOo was responsible for most, if not all, of those
errors--not the rebranding efforts. The only LO-caused problem that I
can remember was related to its not being updated for version 3.4 yet--a
screenshot had a version 3.3 name for a dialog-box title. (Somebody
should fix that, though...)
Because the OOo source file for Chapter 10 contained so many errors due
to, perhaps, careless lapses, mostly with improper character formatting
and manual overrides, I reckon that all of the remaining OOo Writer
Guide chapter files used in rebranding might have been similarly
"contaminated."
I would prefer not having to perform all of those tedious copyediting
repair jobs myself for those several other chapters, so maybe some
volunteers might help out. No experience would be necessary, as I can
readily instruct each and everybody in how to perform the copyediting
and technical editing tasks that are necessary.
The edited chapter 10 (edit-tracked and commented) source file could be
employed for giving general and specific instructions in how to carry
out the many repetitious editing changes necessary in order to bring the
LO chapter source files up to more-professional standards.
In any event, I will load the edited Chapter 10 source file onto my
forum site soon and will include mucho exposition there also--relating
to what was done in greater detail.

Gary i think it is usually better to start a new thread. I think it's mostly
just re-branding work and screen-shots. Some chapters got a lot more extra
work done than others but chapter 10 probably wasn't one of those.

It appears as if some newer, LO-specific material was added to LO Writer
Chapter 10. However, there were dozens of manual overrides instead of using the
appropriate character styles, an inaccurate chapter reference, and a couple of
unresolved cross-references. In addition, a little line editing/rewriting was
added.
The editing is about half done--only started on it a little while ago. And the
local baseball team here is playing later today in the ALCS, plus my favorite
team (in my hometown, Milwaukee) is also in the NLCS.
