The email references Chapter 13 from the documentation project. I believe that LibreOffice recently redid this chapter. I was not certain which chapter had been used.
It had not occurred to me that there was a reference to either AndrewMacro.odt or OOME_3_0.odt

I'm sorry, Andrew, but I don't know what you are talking about :( I have seen the abbreviations in the discussions, but I don't really know what they mean. I think OOo means Open Office.org, and I guess LO is for Libre Office. I have Libre.

This was very recently redone for LO.
