That makes writing the Calc guide slightly more difficult, but not
enough to not do so.

That makes sense.

Integration in the manuals will probably be:
* Explanation of process #1;
** Common Errors;
8 Explanation of Process # 2;
** Common Errors;

What those researchers found, is that the users didn't even know that
their spreadsheet contained errors.

printed or PDFed as stand alone documents.

Cross references within the book, and references to other material that
expands on the issue, are vital.
