David, comments are interleaved in your note below, in addition to these. I have edited the file and replaced it in Drafts on Alfresco, so you can see what I've done.
I also produced a clean copy incorporating all the changes and placed it into Proofing so Gabriel or Hazel (or anyone) can have a crack at it. BTW, when I was playing around with moving and copying sheets, I discovered two things that are not new but were never written up in any earlier version of the Calc Guide, as far as I can tell: (1) As well as moving a sheet within a spreadsheet using drag-and drop, you can also copy a sheet by holding down the Control key while dragging. I added some info about this. (2) The Move/Copy dialog isn't new; it's just been redesigned, and that brought it to my attention on the features list. Gabriel, when you've done some more chapters of the Calc Guide, you may have some new screenshots to replace the Windows ones. If so, and if those screenshots are also used in this Getting Started chapter, you or David should revisit this chapter and replace the screenshots here.

What do you think? Good idea. I copied the picture that Gariel had produced for the Calc Guide. > p.18: > I removed the phrase "allows you to". I found no other examples of this > phrase.

No, I meant the paragraph under the main heading "Working with sheets", which now includes copying and moving. > p.36 I used OOoTextBody for the text, and the Definition styles for the > definitions, using the definitions on page 36 as a guide. The Definition lists use two styles: "OOoDefinition Term" for the bolded first line (a paragraph on its own) of each item, and "OOoDefinition" for the following paragraph. >> The items needing replacement are actual arrows, and you should see >> them in all the menu paths given in the chapter.

Most of the arrows were replaced as one would expect, though a few were not (I've now fixed them). I don't know why you couldn't delete the arrow in a few instances. > Also, is there a way of adding a style to this character at once for all of > its 96 instances? AFAIK, you cannot apply a character style using Find and Replace. One can record a macro to do the job, but otherwise it's a manual operation. > >>I went to: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/template-changer >>and downloaded the template changer without a problem; >>However, at: >>https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/howto/install_extension >>It said: "There is currently no text in this page." >>So, nothing was done with the template. > >>Regarding that empty wiki page: I assume you followed a link from >>somewhere to get there.

I guess my question wasn't clear. Where did you find that URL? Was it on the website, on the wiki, in one of our documents (if so, which one), or somewhere else? --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
