Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Mistakes in source strings

In case of "from" it's not so clear whether it should be uppercase.

"Some conjunctions (e.g., but, yet) and prepositions (e.g., over, through) are 
capitalized, and sometimes some are lowercased—it depends on the style guide you 
follow. For instance, in AP style title case, prepositions of four letters or 
more are capitalized. But in Chicago-style title case, all prepositions are 
lowercase, no matter their length."

The full line in question is: "Three library containers are shown in the Macro 
From list:" - clearly not title style but a reference to a <Macro From> labeled 
list. Would indeed have been better to put the term in quotes.

The text is not part of the source code but used in the help.
