Hello Olivier and Jean
Just had a quick look at the Draw Guide and have found the following errors.
1. Extra page between front cover and Copyright page. The title Draw Guide 7.3
has direct formatting on top of Text Body style. Is there a need for this page
when there is a cover page?
OK, so I admit I thought the Guide PDF was to be printed in user's
inkjet printer, recto-verso and bound.
The extra page is a blank page exported by PDF when the current page is
right only or left only. In this case the cover page style is right only
and the "first page" page style is also right only so the blank page is
the verso of the cover page or verso of the last even page of a chapter.
Master document:
The cover page style is right only
The back cover is left only
Chapters:
- Top logo is anchored as character in a paragraph with style "New
Chapter", that has a page break before with page style "First page".
- The First page style is right only,
- The copyright + TOC section has page style "Front matter"
- The first "Heading 1" of each chapter has a manual page break before
with "Default page style".
If the blank page is to be removed/ignored, a checkbox must be unchecked
in the PDF export dialog and the "First page" style has go back to
"right and left", then chapters can start on the left page.
Please advise here.
2. Paragraph (Book = 1) added after copyright paragraphs.
This is control variable "book" in master document (and exported ODT
file) that hides the copyright and TOC section (SEC_COPYRIGHT) of each
individual chapter, so they are not displayed in the master document nor
exported to PDF. We can hide this variable by just erasing this line
(the variable will not be erased).
Note: Chapters don't have this variable, so its assumed 0 and chapter
Copyright + TOC are displayed.
3. Space added before each chapter title on the chapter title page.
I don't follow you here.
4. What is the difference between the chapter template used to create the
chapters and the template used for this version of the user guide. The
formatting for the book is now incorrect. For example, Figure 5 should be on
Page 20 below Figure 4. This is easy to fix, but the rest of the book has
incorrect formatting. I think it is to do with spacing, but cannot find the
problem at the moment.
The master document has the same template as the chapters except cover,
back cover and the tweak on the First page.
I have fixed the list restart numbering and extra empty paragraphs in
the chapters and rebuilt the documents in my local copy. Let me know if
I have to upload them to the cloud.
Kind regards
Olivier

Olivier,
While preparing the file for the printed copies, I have found more
formatting errors that I am sure were not there in Peter's copy that I
checked earlier. Here is my list of errors found (page numbers are
from the final PDF as downloaded from NextCloud):
Page 23: Figures 6 and 7 have an extra blank line between the image
and the caption.
Page 24: Figure 8 has an extra blank line between the image and the caption.
Pages 28, 42, 73, 118, 143, 186, 226, 298, 328, 361: the list
numbering does not restart at 1. It looks like your "plumbing" removed
the explicit "restart at 1" from the first list item in each chapter.
There are also a lot of bad page breaks that were not in Peter's copy.
I am not going to list them
I will fix these problems in the ODT and PDF of the full book, before
I create the file for the print copies.

Hello Jean
Thank you for the warning.
I have corrected the ODM file and did another round of plumbing in the
chapter files.
All files updated.
Regards
Olivier

Olivier,
Some of your settings in the ODM are causing the layout (page breaks)
to go wrong. The settings are on the Tools > Options > LibreOffice
Writer > Compatibility page. You need to deselect "Add paragraph and
table spacing at tops of pages" and "Add spacing between paragraphs
and tables".

HI Peter, Hi Kees
Thank you very much for this new Guide. The Impress Guide 7.3 has been
uploaded to the websites and a blog post is published on the topic.
I have downloaded the Published folder in a local folder and did some
tweaks in the chapters.
The objective was to create a master document with all the chapters
linked. From the master document I created the PDF and the ODT.
On each chapter I cleaned the direct formatting, cleared the list styles
and adjusted the image anchoring (*).
Should I replace the existing files in the Published folder?. Please let
me know.
Kind regards
Olivier
