[libreoffice-users] LO 4 documentation
Does anyone know when the documentation at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ is scheduled to be updated to v4.x? The LO v4.x templates creation and handling seems to have changed quite a bit from v3.x. Note: I am using the Windows portable version of LO 4 so the I don't have access to the installed version of the LO 4 documentation. Can someone tell me if the Windows installed documentation has been updated? Thanks. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Normally the guides wouldn't have come out until around the 4.0.4 so to see the Getting Started Guide is almost complete already is quite amazing! Regards from Tom :) There is a way to get them quicker. You could join the docs team and help complete the chapters that you are interested in. That way, you know that they will come out quicker and the chapters that you want completed are the ones that you care about. I don't think you will hear anyone complaining about you wanting to work only on the chapters that you want to work on. Join up and help! Who knows, you may have so much fun that you will want to help finish another chapter that some other user hopes to have come out soon too! :-) Cheers, Marc Thank you Marc for the invitation, but I just started using LO 3.6.4 a few months ago, and LO 4.0.0 a week or so ago, so I really don't know much about how it works. I'm definitely at the start of the learning curve. I can't imagine I would be of much help, except by making donations, which I have already done a couple of times. Until I learn more, I believe that is how I can be most helpful. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] LO 4 portable problem starting

The new toolbar element creates a potentially longer list of recent documents. You will have to set this up separately for Writer, Calc, and so on. Well, that's very interesting!

If the connection to the Internet is down on your end or theirs, you do not have access to your data. Excellent points. The whole 1980s migration from central computers w/dumb terminals to PCs was motivated in large part by the desire to spread the computing load and sever the umbilical cord/chain that central mainframe computers required.
