Calc Guide 5.3

[ohallot]

Hello

The Calc guide is the "best seller" for download in the documentation
website. The latest published release is 4.1 (*)

For that reason, I started to update it and opened a draft folder for it
in ODFAuthor website.

I took the latest 4.x drafts and reviewed for version 5.3 (and perhaps
beyond, depending on the time it takes to finish)

Authors are invited to help me in this job, I'd like to have the help of
spreadsheet experts for the contents.

At the moment I am reviewing chapter 2 GC5302 - Entering data.

(*) The best sellers are, ranked:
1 Calc Guide
2 Base Handbook
3 Writer guide
4 Getting Started guide.

Kind regards

As a side note, one of the most time consuming task is to convert styles
from 4.x styles (OOo prefixed) to 5.x styles... Is there a trick to make
it quick other than replacing paragraph styles through Ctrl+H one by one?

Hi Olivier

I have updated the help file for Template Manager and included information about the start center, and also added options I had missed for the context menu when right-clicking on a template. Please let me know which changes I should make to improve the document.

Hi Olivier,

At the moment I am reviewing chapter 2 GC5302 - Entering data.

I want to ask how far it is.

Olivier,
I think you can use Find & Replace. Or in this case is not possible?

Done for the styles change to 5.x styles. Need to review the contents
now. This is not a small task, unfortunately.

Looking at the task, I saw many direct formatting (e.g. bold text
instead of a character style) applied to the text as well as old
OpenOffice styles that has new names in 5.x ... It is so extensive, that
I looking to automate it.

If I count ~30 style changes x ~13 chapters...
