Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice's documentation (pdf and online)

Hi,

PDF? I'm not sure I know where to look for LO documentation in this format?

F1? I use it often. It needs to be compartmenalized (Calc, Writer, Math, Macro interface [UNO], 
...) Its installation also needs to be better integrated into the LO installation process.

HTML? I occasionally wander into this maze though I'm not sure how I get there. I guess it's via a 
link someone posts on this list.

I'm a Calc user on Windows and on Linux. I use the Function Wizard to find function names by 
category and F1 to get the specifics as to the meaning of the function parameters. The examples are 
not always very well thought out in terms of being very practical.

I would write and use macros a good bit more if there were good documentation on the subject 
through F1. I'd like to see links to an on line tutorial on Star Basic and one or more tutorials on 
the concepts of UNO and how to get started using it. At least one tutorial should NOT assume that 
the reader has a degree in computer programming. I, for one, am a retired 1960s era assembler 
language and FORTRAN (later K&R C and Pascal) mainframe programner. My paradigm involves procedural 
code (get values, manipulate them, store/use the results, etc.). I need a bridge from that to the 
UNO paradigm.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice's documentation (pdf and online)

Hi All,

   I'm an experienced Technical Writer beginning work on LibreOffice's
documentation, but I have some questions for LibreOffice users:

   1) Does anyone EVER look at the pdf documentation? If not, why not?
   2) Does anyone EVER click the F1 key for help? If not, why not?
   3) Do you see any overall issues concerning the documentation?
   4) If the presentation of the documentation were to change to make it
more useful, what would it look like?

Thanks for anyone's help.

Davidaa
