Chapter 14 and Appendix A of GS4.2 are ready for cleaning. They are here:

The other file in that folder is still being worked on.

Dear Hazel,
I will clean the new chapters soon.
I have a comment regarding the new text about the gallery in Chapter 11. It now says that all themes can be modified, i.e. all of them have green icons. This is true only if one runs LO with administration rights. I've tested this on Linux and W7 - in both cases one normally sees all icons in red. On XP a user must be administrator to modify them, too. I recommend to return to the old wording and eventually add a comment about the possibility to modify the themes in administration mode (if there is a reason to do that).
with best regards
Milos

John Smith made those changes, not Hazel. He is on holidays at the
moment, but I can return the file to the old wording. Thanks, Milos.

I've been looking at this on my Mac, where I can add images to any
theme (though the icons are brown, not red or green), delete images
from any theme, etc. I'm not running LO as administrator, but I did
install it for use by anyone on the computer. I'm not sure how best to
deal with this: perhaps add a note to say that it depends on the
installation? Or just remove the sentences "You can add images to any
theme" and "You can delete any theme from the Gallery"? I will test a
bit more. Would also be useful if others reading this could do a bit
of testing. Or can you reference something on the wiki or bugzilla
about this?

Have now tested on Linux Mint and Windows 8.1; both behave like Milos
says, as I expected they would.
I'm willing to restore the old wording, with a note about admin (or
Mac), if you think that's better than just removing the statements
about "any theme". Would like to hear from some other people, though.

I have revised the chapter and placed it here, ready for Milos to
clean it if he thinks it's okay now:

Hi Milos.
Have you raised this as a bug in order to get it looked at? If you have not, I am happy to raise a report.
Let me know please.
