Re: [libreoffice-users] Word 2003 to Libre Writer - Comparison Chart

Well, I would need others to help with the modules that I rarely use.

What I would like to see is the easy things first and the "harder" 
things second.

I really think each sheet should have the "Tools>Options" info there and 
for the General info for setting up LO.  That could be the last 1 or 2 
panels.  Then the first 4 or 5 panels would be dedicated for the 
module.  This way, you will have some "generic" package stuff that may 
or my not be part of Writer or Calc, etc.. I do not think having a full 
sheet for setup and such would be a good marketing idea.

Maybe we can have each panel/page be dedicated to similar features or 
processes.

Writer
Page 1 would be the intro to the menus and the UI.  Where things are, etc.
Page 2 all of the quick short cuts and other common things.
Page 3 page, paragraph, text, formatting and other options
Page 4 more advanced stuff
Page 5 more advanced stuff
Page 6 LO setup, Tools>Options info, list of URLs for online info, etc., 
etc..

If we need more space, then we add 2 more panels/pages.  I think 8 
panels/pages would be the limit though for one quick sheet/guide.

Calc, Draw, Impress, would be setup the same way.  Math might take 2 
panels of info.  Base, well I will leave that for others.

I can do a good part of Writer.  I do not use Calc much, or Impress.  I 
know very little about Draw or Math.  Nothing about Base.

I am willing to work on setting the panels up, but will need help 
filling in the "advanced" info for Writer.  With others gathering the 
info for the other quick sheets, I will be willing to do those pages as 
well as long as I have the information from those who know things better 
than I do.

Yes it will be hard to get others to help with the solutions.  I will be 
going through the Writer guide for ideas and to others on the list for 
info.  Then I will post  the work on one of the Wiki pages.  At that 
point there will be a lot of work with correcting any errors or ways to 
may the wording/graphics easier to use and understand.

One visual aid with these sheets is the fact that "similar" info are 
grouped in "boxes" with a light colored background.  Each grouping would 
have a slightly different background or different colored border to the 
"box".  That makes it easier to see what are things that belong together 
or are a part of a solution.  But all that visual aids will come after 
all of the information and solutions are gathered together in some order.
