Tom,
Those are all good ideas. We are back to backups again.
I was wondering about the screenshots myself. The other day, I had the
"opportunity" to look at the old Getting Started guide and noticed the
Base screenshots there just seemed nicer than the ones in the Base Guide
I am working on. I was wondering about a screenshot library that
authors could use for their documents. That way, the screenshots would
not only be the nicest obtainable, but they would be consistent from one
document to the next. That would be less confusing for the readers,
especially the novices and newbies. Also, the authors would not need to
make their own screenshots, unless what they wanted was not in the
library. Some thought may be needed on how that library would be
organized, so as to minimize lookup time for the authors.
Just a thought.

Hi :)
Fwiw my thought would be OLE but keep a copy of the original youself
and if possible find somewhere useful to upload the file to so that
editors can find it again if something does go wrong.
Would it be a good idea for someone to set-up a wiki-page (or few) to
put all the screenshots on?
Regards from
Tom :)

*Subject:* [libreoffice-documentation] How to insert or embed drawings
Greetings,
I am about to create a figure in Draw for one of the Base Guide
documents. I can either create an external Draw file and insert
that file into the document, or I can use the embedded (OLE) Draw
version and have the figure embedded in the document. The former
requires the Draw file to be maintained (saved) along with the
document, risk being lost, and if lost, need to be re-created if
future editing is required. The OLE version goes with the
document, has no additional file to maintain, and will always be
there for future editing. I prefer the OLE style, but what is the
consensus of the documentation team?
Thanks.
Girvin Herr
