Well, this was just a suggestion. The document is fine as-is but I thought about a very frequent question/problem we meet during trainings where people think they are entitled to just download anything from the web. If this is far too convoluted to explain in this how-to, no problem for me. And it's not my decision what you put in. I guess this the author's. -- Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Bordeaux -- 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
