Hi David,
I have checked in the file here: Company Home > English Content [en - English] > Documentation > Getting Started Guide, just like I had done the last time. Do I need to do something different? I have a backup copy in my system.

Hi Tom,
Thanks. I will start with Draw and always ready for some writing or proofreading work.

Jaimon
One more thing. Do the documents in "Drafts" and "Proofread" both need image update?
Hi 
I'm not sure which. Jean was doing the proof-reading on the Draw documentation
about 14-16hours ago. John signed it in about 6 hours before that. Does the
modification date&time help identify the right ones to work on?
Regards from
Tom
For Draw, only the ones in Drafts should need image updates. DO NOT
use the Chapter 1 file that is in Drafts; it's marked as "superceded"
but that may be easy to overlook. Also, check the "Discussions" for
each of the other chapters; some have notes I made about other things
that need to be done in some of the chapters.
If you feel like doing something more ambitious than Draw, the Impress
Guide needs reviewing as well as some image updates.
--Jean
Not necessarily. The main indicator is what space the files are in;
for Draw, the ones in Drafts have not had image updates done, while
the ones in Reviewed have been updated.
Modification dates may have changed for files I checked out, made some
minor changes, decided I didn't have time to finish, and checked back
in again with a note of things remaining to be done.
For some other books (Getting Started, Writer, Calc), files in
Reviewed or even Published may need image updates because that didn't
get done for the first edition.

Hi,
Tried my best, but I could not add my name to the contributor list.. When I do an Enter, it always go down one space extra...
Thanks

If it's OK with you, can you check the document back in, please, and
I'll try adding your name for you.
Use Shift+Enter for a line break, not a new paragraph.

Thanks Jean
Hi David,
Thanks. I have added my name and checked in the documents again.
That point should still be explicitly described in the exposition that is contained in all the various flavors of templates, no?

Hi
Shift and Enter compared to just Enter is a standard cross-platform feature in
many many different apps. It's not specific to LibreOffice. It's a bit like
knowing that Ctrl V pastes. 'Everyone' knows it. I only found out about it a
few months ago.
Regards from
Tom
The OOo/LO template exposition concerning the contributor names included the advice to use Shit+Enter (similar to <br /> in XHTML) as a forced line break between names, so that question of the original poster need not have been made--assuming that the instructions in the template exposition were followed.
But again, there is no harm in asking...
As to pasting: the unformatted paste (Ctrl+Shift+V) is often more useful when pasting the clipboard contents from different documents, especially if different apps were used.

Hi,
Yeah. I should have gone through it more carefully. I got it now, but I have a doubt about the Impress guide. The images had been updated by Song with Ambiance theme, so they need to be updated with windows xp theme now? Sorry for being too doubtful..

I don't see any particular reason to do anything to Song Chuan's
work... Unless you have a particular idea in mind? If not, the idea
would simply be to continue working on what is left to be done.
That would be my 2 cents...
@Song Chuan: Song Chuan, would you have any comments or suggestions?
Hi

Even tho it might not be the theme we eventually agreed on at least they are not
Windows screen-shots so there is no real need to change them this time. The
"Windows xp theme" is the silver(ish) one on Ubuntu?
Regards from
Tom
There are some errors of both omission and commission (plus some copyedit errors) in the OOo/LO template exposition. I am working on them. Probably, I will get back to that sometime this week and finish it. Good for you--your reading of it.
Gary
I believe those in Chapter 1 were done with the Radiance theme, which
is a theme with poor contrast. It may not be worth the time now to
redo them with a better theme, but they will need to be done in a
better-contrast theme (such as XP-Silver) at some point.
IMO it's more important now to continue through all the chapters
getting rid of Windows pix -- and (very important) reviewing for
differences between LibO and OOo -- but please don't use Radiance for
the theme. I see that Chapter 2 has used XP-Silver for the
replacements. Chapter 3 seems to have some in Radiance, others in
ClearLooks, and still others in XP-Silver. I haven't looked at the
others.
