Everybody,

I know perfectly well how to make screen shots in Windows. I was 
avoiding doing that because of the following statement, on p. 14 of Ch. 
2 of the Contributors' Guide, Producing LibreOffice User Guides:

/
//Avoid making screen captures from Windows; use them only as a last 
resort, or as a first draft. First choice for screen captures is Ubuntu 
or another Linux distribution./


If we're sure that John's solution will get us off the hook legally, 
then I'll go ahead and do that.


Best,
Alan

[libreoffice-documentation] graphics for Getting Started Guide for LO v5.0

2015-06-01 Thread Alan Cook

Hello all,

I need to update Figures 1 and 2 in Ch. 9 (the Math chapter) of GS v5.0. 
I'm running LO on Windows so I can't make my own screenshots. If someone 
who's using Linux could make shots of those two figures and send them to 
me, I can plug them in.


The difference is that the floating dialog won't appear in the new 
figures. Don't worry; the dialog box has been removed entirely from 
v5.0, so you can't mess up.


Thanks,
Alan
