Hi! The following are some suggested corrections to the 
user guide.

2.1 Basic file operations - final sentence - change to:

With Version Control you can register the changes you have 
made to a document so that others can identify them as your 
changes.

two sentences should be merged:

2.5 Basic Key Bindings - delete the final paragraph 'You'll 
learn more ... means Shift-Control-s.' as it no longer 
applies.in 1.5.6

3.1.1. Introduction - second paragraph - last sentence

though 'behooves' is an acceptable alternative spelling, it 
is more normal to use 'behoves'; also because it is an 
obsolete word, it is normally only used humorously - I 
wonder whether in a manual intended for non-English 
speakers, it might be better to use the more familiar 
expression 'So then you need' rather than 'So, it behooves 
you'

3.1.2 Document Classes
3.1.2.1 Overview

Description curiculum should be curriculum

3.6.2 Document Font and Font size Footnote 11

Other fonts, like Latin Modern or Computer Modern, consist 
of . . .

Final bullet

These fonts were developed for the LaTeX community to 
replace cm as the default font.

3.6.4 Fine-Tuning with the Text Style dialog - first 
sentence

. . .  a way to create a custom character style.

Second standard paragraph

Documents that overuse different fonts and sizes are not 
easily readable and tend to look as if someone has knocked 
huge holes in them.

Second bullet

Serifs facilitate quick and easy reading. These fonts are 
therefore used as default fonts (named roman).

(I have only read this far - will read the rest another 
day)
