Why can't Windows screen shots be accepted for the documentation? Is the
Windows
version of LibO that much different from the Linux and Mac versions?

It's not because it is so different from Mac or Linux versions but because Microsoft has a very 
certain view about copyright and using screenshots made on a Windows system in the documentation 
for a competing product. 

The germanophone OOo project asked MS Germany about this and the answer we got was that we would 
need permission from MS. (André, if I'm wrong, please correct me). So to avoid any copyright issues 
we decided to use only screenshots made under Linux. 

Sigrid
