Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Coordination

Addendum: if someone else with the interest and experience/skills would like to take GS or WG - please do! I might be of more value to the Docs project doing QA on all the books, for language, layout, use of styles, other consistency issues, etc etc. Especially the compiled books, which typically

The other guides are: Getting Started (I have been suggested for this; I’m considering it*) Writer (I have been suggested for this; I’m considering it*) Impress (Peter may do? He did both Draw and Impress before; there’s a lot of overlap) Draw (Peter S will do) Math * Background info for new mem

[libreoffice-documentation] Template Changer and Extended Search & Replace extensions?

(I may have the name of the second extension incorrect.) Do either of the extensions work with LO 6.4? The last time I tried them (over a year ago, perhaps 2), they didn’t work for me, but I didn’t test on all three o/s. If they don’t work, we should drop any reference to them in our Contributors

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Review of Writer Guide Chapter 2 - Working with Text

Hi Shravani, I have reviewed your file. Good job, overall. Thanks! Glad to see you caught some important changes from v6.0 to v6.4 (or in some cases maybe errors in the v6.0 chapter). I accepted most of your changes and left a lot of comments, including replies to your comments and questions. Some

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Issuing a book

Assuming you mean a back-of-the-book alphabetical index: my short answer is no. Here’s why. Many (perhaps most) chapters in most books are incompletely or poorly indexed*, if at all. Therefore IMO having no index Is better than having a bad one - and an index isn’t really necessary in a PDF, thoug

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 6.2 Chapter 01 IntroductiontoBase: missing table in sample Database

Hi, I found it (I think): table "Preferences" is the "Settings" table mentioned in the text. This has to be corrected in the Guide. /Rob On 12-04-2020 13:38, Rob Westein wrote: Hi, For the dutch documentation team I'm reading the into dutch translated chapter "Introduction to Base". I use

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Issuing a book

OK, found my previous note. I had misremembered some details. Here's an excerpt from my note. A big problem for the compiled book was a difference in compatibility settings between most of the chapter files and the book master file. In Tools > Oprions > LibreOffice Writer > Compatibility, we must

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Issuing a book

The main problems are caused by hiding the sections containing the copyright pages in the chapter files. That causes the following page style to be wrong, figure numbers to be wrong, and some other problems that I don’t recall. I wrote an email a year or two ago with a summary, but I can’t find it

Olivier, I seem to recall that you experienced one or two problems when you collated all of the individual chapters of the 6.2 Calc Guide to produce a master document. Please could you give me an overview of what is involved in this process and where the problem areas lie? I've used master docume

Hello Olivier I can be the lead on the Draw Guide. I have already written half of the chapters and about to start Chapter 7 today. A lockdown at home definitely has given me time to do things. Regards Peter Schofield psaut...@gmail.com > On 12 Apr 2020, at 05:26, Olivier Hallot > wrote: > >
