Hello Everyone, Just a heads up email. I will edit and update Calc Ch. 12 to 4.1. Please be on the lookout for an update sometime within the week.

Calc Guide is something of an orphan and, as you can see, hasn't been updated since v3.4. The objective at this point is to finish the Calc Guide to 4.1 and start updating GS and WG to v4.2. The first beta of LO 4.2 is due out next week (see Release Plan, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2 and the Release Notes, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2 So, my suggestions to you are: 1) Go through Chapters 5, 6, 12, 13 of Calc Guide (currently listed as LO v4.0) to see if anything needs changing for v4.1 -- or if anything wasn't updated correctly from v3.4 to v 4.0. Also Appendix C hasn't been updated from v3.4; you could do that. Other chapters have already been updated to v4.1, but Peter hasn't been through all of them for look and feel updates. People are working on Ch14 and Appendixes A and B. I'm really hoping to get that book done by the end of November. 2) Start identifying which chapter of Getting Started and/or other books will need updating for v4.2. Add info to this page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/UserGuideTasks Also would be useful to go through the existing GS book to see what else needs updating or improvement. PLEASE NOTE: Most chapters in this book cover material also included in other books, though topics and level of detail vary. Therefore, noting necessary updates changes in chapter lists for other books is very helpful. 3) I am still looking for one or more people to help with updating the Base Handbook, which was translated from German to English. In this case, the work involves translating new material that was added to the German handbook for v4.1. If you are interested in helping with this work, I can provide more info point you to the relevant files. 4) Work on Base Guide (different book, written from scratch in English). If you're interested in that, I'll provide more info. I'm in the middle of rationalizing chapters of that book following recent work by Dan Lewis (and earlier work that I've neglected to follow up on). --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Version 4.1 Draw Guide, Chapter 9
Hello Martin We are at cross purposes here. I am updating the Draw Guide to Version 4.1 which means two of us were working on the same chapter. I shall now use your version to complete Chapter 9 and reissue onto the ODF Authors website. This will mean that Chapter 10 11 will follow very quickly.

It has now been uploaded to the ODF Authors website for review and comments. http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/draw-guide/draft-lo4.1/chapter-9-adding-and-formatting-text/view Whilst there was not a great deal that needed to be updated, there is one screen shot that will need replacing. The Special Characters dialogue box (Figure 8, on page 9) in the version I am using (LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 on Windows 8.1) is re-organised, with clickable action boxes now found at the bottom of window, along with a new 'Delete Last' box added. I recall reading in the instructional documentation that screen shots from Mac or Linux operating systems are preferable to those from Windows. As such, I hope that someone will be able to update the screen shot on my behalf. I also wonder whether the slightly different placement of tabs in the Graphic Styles dialogue box (Figure 10, on page 12) would necessitate replacement of the screen shot. The 'Text' and 'Text Animation' tabs are on the second row in the version I am using but this seems a minor detail.
