For several years, I've been thinking about making some organisational changes to the Writer Guide, to better serve users.
First, I intend to move Chapter 10 (Templates) to be Chapter 8, just after the two chapters on styles. The current Chapter 8 (Images) and Chapter 9 (Tables) will become Chapters 9 and 10, respectively. Second, I think that at 475 pages and growing, the Writer Guide is too long and intimidating. I propose to split it into two parts (volumes), which I'm calling "Essentials" (Chapter 1 through the new Chapter 9) and "Extras" (Chapters 10 through 16 and the current Appendix A). Each part would be approximately 250-290 pages. Third, I am considering splitting the somewhat long Chapter 3 (Working with Text) and Chapter 4 (Formatting Pages) into two chapters each, similar to the two chapters on styles. One chapter in each would be called "Basics" and the second "Advanced" (or similar terms). Fourth, I am considering moving the current Chapter 2 (Setting Up Writer) to be an Appendix of Volume 1. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org 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
