Bug ID: 160323
Summary: Page reference off & generally a verbose User Guide
that stultifies
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: vanheydenaut...@gmail.com
CC: olivier.hal...@libreoffice.org
Found an error in the documentation for 'Master Page' and Template creation.
The error is Step 5. Add some pages to the master document (2nd pp where it
states), "The example in this section uses the sequence of page styles given in
'Step 1. Plan the project' on page 439." There is a “Step 1. Plan the project”
on page 378 but there is no such “Step 1. Plan the project” on pg 439, and in
fact that page is about spreadsheets.
NOTE: I find the wording and inclusion of so many 'WAYS' of doing the same
thing enormously cumbersome, such as in the statement, [Step 5.] "Make sure
paragraph marks are showing. You can set them in Tools > Options > LibreOffice
Writer > Formatting Aids, or click the Toggle Formatting Marks icon on the
Standard toolbar, or press Ctrl+F10"
Too many options in a sea of voluminous textual references and instructions
which in themselves are difficult to navigate to.
My recommendation is to strip down the multiple suggested alternate ways of
doing the same function into a streamlined version of the User Guide and let
users get a breather. We can always go onto the community forum if the simple
straight forward way is notworking which when we look that over would be an
impossibility for the main method NOT TO WORK. Then we can learn the 'fancy
alternatives' later if we want to get into GURU status. By the way, is the PRO
version of Libre 'Writer' any better than the Community version?
PS. I would be happy to do the stripping down and submit it for review.
