Re: [libreoffice-users] Quickstarter is missing from LO3.5.5. onDebian
Hi AG :) It is a good idea to run the 3.6.0 beta in parallel with your existing version. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel There is no need to wipe one in order to run the other. However stable something is on other people's machines (or unstable for that matter) is irrelevant. What matters is how stable it is on YOUR machine and that is something no-one knows until YOU try it. One advantage with test-driving the early pre-releases of a branch is that IF you have problems then it's easy to catch the devs interest in fixing it while they are keen and excited about the new branch. Waiting until everyone else is using it means the devs attention is more divided between everyone else's issues. Typically a new branch means a big step up to a new plateaux of increased compatibility with MS formats, faster start-up and operation, very much increased functionality and a slightly sexier lookfeel. I would definitely recommend taking the 3.6.0 beta out for a test-drive as much as possible asap but keep your older version lurking in the back-ground somewhere jic. Why wait for other people?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Quickstarter is missing from LO3.5.5. onDebian
Was there an extension for bibliography, somewhere? I seem to remember seeing one for OOo before LO came out. The one issue for a auto biblio system is I was taught 2 different preferred methods to do them at different degree programs. I was told that the correct way to do them had changed. It seemed that a lot of things in tech writing changes or the years for no better reason than to give the controlling authorities something to do and give the college book makers sales. I had three different English writing courses over 15 years and each one had a different way as the correct way to to bibliographies, footnotes, and other technical things in professional papers. So, for me, if I had to do biblios, I would look up the current correct way and then do things manually. I know it is not as easy as letting a word processor do the grunt work, but it worked for me. Since I misplaced my writing books 2 moves ago, I do not have any current references on the correct way of doing them. I may have to get a reference again, one day.
