The Getting Started guide should contain subsections as to that extensions,
etc. would not necessarily need to be reinstalled after updating LO from one
version to another. A case in point is my not having to reinstall the
Template Changer. And, if there are other things that maybe not be needed to
be redone after an update or reinstallation, mention of those should also be
included in GS.
Yes, agreed. I'll add something, probably to the chapter on
Customizing unless a better place suggests itself.
It's this kind of feedback that helps us improve the books, albeit
slowly. Thanks!
And then in Chapter 10 of the WG, a note can be made to that effect for that
subsection. IOW, the first two steps of that 5-step procedure may likely not
be needed if the Template Changer was already installed in an earlier
version of OOo/LO--as noted in my own case.
I've revised that section in both GS Ch3 (uploaded earlier today to
Alfresco) and WG Ch10, which I'll be uploading after I've finished the
revisions later today.
My revision was more general, because someone might have installed
that extension in a new (clean) install of LO, but before reading this
chapter. Of course, my revision of that section can probably be
further improved.
