[authors] Updates to Getting Started guide
I've fixed the problem with the chapter name in the page header which occurred in many (but not all) of the files. I've uploaded sxw, odf, and pdf copies of the files I changed. I also recompiled the pdf of the full book, because there have been a lot of minor changes in the chapters since the previous version was compiled two months ago. Cheers, Jean
[authors] origin documents for data base and basic
Hello authors, I'm looking for origin documents for the data base and the basic part, because there is a lot of white space in our German documentation list. The links to any origin documents are pointing to french docs - are there also english docs available? If yes I can start translation next week. -- So long Bernd

Hello! My name is Benedikt Kroll (username is bk , signed in again on oct 10th, my first log in from yesterday was not saved). I would like to take part in the german documentation for OOo 2.0. It would be great if youd allow me to translate the English documentation "Printing with Calc" into german.. According to the page http://oooauthors.org/de/authors there is not yet an author, so I would like to do this job. Is this OK? To intoduce myself: I come from Germany, but my languages are also English and French. Using OOo for quite a long time also for school needs, I think this software is worth to spend time for to develop it. Benedikt
[authors] PING: Getting Started with Impress
While I have not completed the writing of this chapter, I have completed the presentation upon which it will be based. The presentation file is located at: http://www.delewis.com/OOo/Simple_Presentation.odp Any comments would be appreciated. This presentation will be donated to the OOo documentation project through OOoAuthors after a thorough review. In the meanwhile, I am keeping it on my own web site so that I can make any needed changes quicker. (My desktop is also my web server.) I hope to have the chapter read for review by this weekend. I have run into another problem with Impress. I can print the entire set of slides as a handout, but I can not do so while including notes. There are two slides with notes: Outline View, and Running the slide show. I can select either one of these two slides and print out the slide and the slide with the note, but I can not print out more than one slide this way. (This is after selecting all the slides in Slide Sorter as recommended by Help.) Dan

Hello, I joined the authors-mailinglist and want to introduce myself. My name is Katharina (username shea_corrin), 24 years old, from Germany, but I speak english too, maybe with a little too much slang from New Mexico ;-). I study biochemistry, so I'm not really IT-related, that's why I suppose the best would be, if I could do mostly proof-reading. So if you need help, don't hesitate to contact me. with kind regards Katharina -- ## Katharina Greif

I have given you author status. We'd love to have your help, as we are working very hard to finish two books this week and next: the Getting Started guide and the Writer Guide. The most helpful thing you could do right now is check some of the draft published chapters against the latest OOo2.0 software. See the first page on the English part of the site (http://oooauthors.org/en/) for an overview of what to do, and this page for details on checking against the software: http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/contribute If you can't check against the software for some reason, or you don't want to, that's okay. Let me know and I'll suggest something else. There's more than enough work to do! :-) Cheers, Jean Lead Editor, OOoAuthors

I have been using this presentation for testing Impress while I review Ch 2 of the UG - rather slowly due to a far too great workload here in the office. But some of what you are touching on in your presentation can be directly referenced in the UG and I suggest that in the UG we put the (final) link location to the presentation so that people who want to work through the UG can do so with a 'real' presentation (of course having two monitors is great too .).
