Hi Felipe,
The following comments have arisen from my high-level (skim) review of the full PDF:
1. General. Did we take a conscious decision in the LO 7 template to
show the text “Calc Guide 7.0” in the footers of even numbered
pages? (This wasn’t the case in the 6.4 CG)
2. General. There are some cases where figures could be moved around to
reduce the amount of white space at the bottom of pages. However,
there is always a trade off between minimising white space and
retaining a figure in a reasonably logical/natural position relative
to its associated text.
3. Page 57. The two steps directly above Figure 34 should probably be
numbered 4) and 5) rather than 1) and 2).
4. Page 209, Figure 178. When we took the screen grab of this dialog,
we unintentionally had an irrelevant tooltip displayed which causes
unnecessary distraction. Could we replace this figure with a similar
screen grab but without the tooltip?
5. Page 218, Figure 188. The caption is present, but the figure is not
visible.
6. On paging through Chapter 6 (in Adode Acrobat Reader DC on my
Windows 10 computer), I received the following Acrobat Reader error
message: “Cannot extract the embedded font
‘BAAAAA+LiberationSans-Bold’. Some characters may not display or
print correctly.” It is possibly a problem only with my computer
configuration but it may be worth checking that others don’t get
such a message.
7. Page 225, just after Figure 195. The numbered items in the section
below this figure should be reset to start from 1.
8. Page 266, Table 11. Recommend widening the first column so that the
column heading remains on one line.
9. Page 444, section heading “Working with VBA Macros”. For consistency
with other sections, I don’t think the word “Macros” needs an
initial upper case letter in this section heading.
10. Page 444, section “Working with VBA Macros”, 1st paragraph. I’m not
sure repetition of the word “Basic” is needed before “programming
language”. Also, change “a different mechanisms” to either
“different mechanisms” or “a different mechanism”.
11. Page 444, section “Working with VBA Macros”, 2nd paragraph. Delete
“a” from before “VBA”?
12. Page 444, section heading “Loading VBA Code”. For consistency with
other sections, I don’t think the word “Code” needs an initial upper
case letter in this section heading.
13. Page 444, section “Loading VBA Code”, 1st paragraph. Change “Option”
to “Options”.
14. Page 445, paragraph immediately after Figure 451. Suggest changing
“Microsoft Basic” to “VBA”. Also recommend making the same change in
the following paragraph.
15. Page 445, “Option VBA Support statement” section. In this section,
we sometimes have a space between “VBA” and “Support” but sometimes
not. Consistency would be better.
16. Page 445, paragraph immediately before Listing 13. I think the word
“functions” is redundant after “VBA” and could be deleted. Also, in
the 2nd sentence, suggest changing “of” to “from”.
17. Page 445, 1st bullet point after Listing 14. Change “letter” to
either “a letter” or “letters”.
18. Page 446, paragraph directly above Listing 15. The first sentence is
not grammatically correct. Does the following read better -
“UserForms (Dialogs) appear frequently in macros that demand your
interaction and parameter selections.”?
19. Page 446, Note after Listing 16. Do the two occurrences of the word
“Dialog” require initial upper case letters?
20. Page 446, 1st paragraph of Conclusion section. “Macros” does not
need an initial upper case letter. Also, it may be worth inserting
“Basic” after “LibreOffice”.
21. Chapters 12 and 13. A few figure captions within these sections are
centred, which is inconsistent with the majority of figure captions
in the document.
22. Chapter 14, section entitled VBA Properties, beginning on page 481.
This section repeats material now covered in Chapter 12 (Macros). Do
we want to retain this repetition or could we cross-reference here
instead?
23. Page 511 at the beginning of Appendix A has the wrong footer.
24. In Appendix A, the footers of odd numbered pages include the text
“Calc Guide 7.0” which is inconsistent with the remainder of the
document.
25. In the alphabetical index at the back of the document, footers on
odd numbered pages use text from a section of the previous appendix.
This looks a little odd.
26. Do we need an entry or entries in the alphabetical index to refer to
the new VBA-related material in the Chapter 12 (Macros)?
Regards,
Steve
