Impress Guide Chapters 3, 4, and 5

The final chapters (3, 4, and 5) of the Impress Guide LO3.5 are now in the
drafts folder on the ODF Authors website.

The only major change was in Chap 03. One graphic changed for Asian and CTL
fonts, and the associated paragraph altered to include CTL fonts.

Now to convert the LO3.5 chapters back into LO3.4, which will not take too
long.

Thanks, Peter. I collected chapters 3 & 4 earlier today, made a few
trivial tweaks (including changing the file name on one) and published
them on wiki and ODFAuthors. I'll do Ch5 soon.

Shall I compile the book or do you want to? (I'm happy either way.)

Should we create a preface for it, similar to the preface for Getting Started?

Hello Jean

I have never compiled a book so will leave it to you. I will have a practice offline during the week so I have the knowledge for future use.

I have not seen the preface for the Getting Started guide, so I shall leave that to you.

OK on both! I do enjoy compiling books, annoying as the process can be at times.

Hi :slight_smile:
Now that Impress has guides nearly completed for both 3.4.x and 3.5.x branches can we take the 3.3.x branch Impress Guide off the wiki?  On non-widescreen displays, such as 1024by768 (4:3 ratio) the Publications page looks a bit wonky, as Jean and others predicted ages ago.

Hmm, maybe we could just reduce the amount of columns for the 3.3.x branch?

Reducing the number of columns for 3.3.x branch is probably best for
now. I think it's good to have the complete sets of manuals there, so
removing the first Impress column wouldn't be so good.

In the longer term, a more drastic solution will be needed. Perhaps
when all the 3.4 books are done, 3.3 can be archived to another page?
That should be within a few weeks, if not sooner. Depends on how JohnS
goes with Calc.

Hi :slight_smile:
I think that worked really well. 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
Taking out the number of pages and reducing the date down to just the year reduces it by so much that i think this could be a fairly long-term answer, at least for a few years.  By then there will be a good collection of old guides for a sub-page for historical interest.

I made the GS Guide layout more like the other tables and put the "Printed copy for purchase" text into the 1st column but then didn't know what to put under the different branches.  I tried "The 3.3. book" which is short enough but hopefully someone will think of something better.  Similarly for the ePub version.

Hi :slight_smile:
Good work!

Also thanks Jean for doing a lot to shrink the columns without losing any of the information.
