The "?" for these three lines was a "box" character that looks like the 
Check-Box in the option dialog box.

Thanks Jean.

I am not on the documentation list, but wondering about that, since I am 
working on this Quick Guide sheet.

I was thinking about seeing if there was a possibility to use some of 
the text in the Writer Guide, etc., as part of this Quick Guide 
project.  That was I/We do not need to rewrite our own text.

The last part of the "sheet" will have the URL for LO sites including 
where you find the .odt and .pdf documentation as in the Get Started and 
Writer Guide.

Right now, the current page URL may need to change.  I think the current 
page might be better as "/Documentation/CheatSheetsWriter" and the 
current URL will have links to the pages for each of the Quick Guide 
Wiki pages and the final documents.  I do not know how to do this, but 
it is not a high priority right now, but will be needed when Calc sheet 
is started.  Writer Quick Guide will be the only one I am working for 
the future month or so.
