Calc Guide - Proposal for reordering chapters and split chapter 3

Hi Team

I’m planning to split chapter 3 “Creating Chart and Graphs” into 2 chapters (Basic and Advanced) because the chapter is quite big (~90 pages) and more charts types are coming from development (mixed pie charts and histograms).

At the same time, I think that charts and graphs topics should come after the basic use of spreadsheets such as formatting, styles and templates.

Therefore I plan to move chapter 3 (split in 2) after chapter 6 “Using images and graphics”, and of course adjust the references in all other chapters.

Proposed sequence

  • [Preface]

  • [Chapter 1 Introduction]

  • [Chapter 2 Entering, Editing, and Formatting Data]

  • [Chapter 3 Formatting Data]

  • [Chapter 4 Using Styles and Templates]

  • [Chapter 5 Using Images and Graphics]

  • [Chapter 6 Creating Charts and Graphs - Basic]

  • [Chapter 7 Creating Charts and Graphs - Advanced]

  • [Chapter 8 Printing, Exporting, Emailing, and Signing]

  • [Chapter 9 Using Formulas and Functions]

  • [Chapter 10 Using Pivot Tables]

  • [Chapter 11 Data Analysis]

  • [Chapter 12 Linking Data]

  • [Chapter 13 Sharing and Reviewing Spreadsheets]

  • [Chapter 14 Macros]

  • [Chapter 15 Calc as a Database]

  • [Chapter 16 Setting up and Customizing]

  • [Chapter 17 User Interface Variants]

  • [Appendix A Keyboard Shortcuts]

  • [Appendix B Error Codes]
