Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Fw: [libreoffice-users] Impress, Master Slides and Custom Animations

Hi Jean :)
Thanks :)  I had already forwarded your previous post but got a bit swamped at 
work today and forgot to let anyone know i had done that.  


I'm not great at writing documentation but i think i am just about able to point 
people in roughly the right direction sometimes.  It's difficult to cope with 
the flood of emails in the users list and there are already quite a few of good 
people answering questions well, even if we don't always agree with each other.  
This Impress question was unusual and i thought the docs team might have the 
best answers for it.  

Regards from
Tom :)
