Hello Everybody, I have created a folder called LibreOffice Tutorials. I have placed the Work Files for LibreOffice 6 in the supplemental folder inside it. I have also uploaded the first draft of preface and chapter 1. I have updated the spreadsheet accordingly. Can anyone take the preface and chapter 1 for its review. I think 1 review would suffice.
