Hi John,
HI.
Can I have a little help please?. I'm still new and taking baby steps.
1. How do I upload files to ODFAuthors? Jean set up my account and
I've had a look around but can't see how it's done :-[ .
With Alfresco still down, I want to upload the chapter which I'd put
on there, but which obviously now is somewhere in the ether.
Do you want to upload a completely new document? Go to the
corresponding folder (e. g. Writer > To Be Updated to LO3.4). In the
green bar above the list with the files there is a menu entry called
"Add new..." with a arrow pointing downwards on its right side. Click
on this entry and chose then "Document". Give a name, enter a short
description, browse to the correct file on your computer and when
everything is filled in to your satisfaction click on "Save". That's
all.
2. On the ODFAuthors site, how does one mark the file as being worked
on. I can't make out the 'Change State' functionality. I'm looking at
the Writer folders here BTW.
You go into the folder, click on the document name that you want to
edit. In the green menu bar above there is a menu entry called
"Actions". Click here and select "Check out". This will automatically
create a "working copy" (and you will see a double entry for this
chapter!) The original entry gets an extra banner, saying that XYZ has
created a working copy on this date...
Don't forget to download the chapter.
I had marked the chapter (Ch11 Writer) on the wiki as updated, so
I've got how to do that ok.
Sorry if this is a nuisance :-[ .
No, it's not. People asking how to do things gives us the chance to
improve our descriptions.
I hope my instructions are clear.
Sigrid
