Dear Jean and Documentation Team, As per your suggestion, I navigated to
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/drafts_5.0 However I see that: *Drafts_5.0* There are currently no items in this folder. I found this under 4.2 though: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/base-handbook/drafts_4.2/newly-translated-material But I am uncertain if I am in the right section. Could someone please direct me to the Chapter 4 parts that need correction, for v5.0 ? Many thanks Kind regards Michael Cullen On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 9:38 PM, Jean Weber <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > I see Sigrid has created your ODFAuthors account.
