Thank you, Keith. I do have a question about AOO 4.0 -- is there is a place I can download the current build? I searched around but wasn't able to find it. I would like to use that build to check the current documentation for accuracy as you suggest.
Also I was thinking about working on some of the pages for Draw, as it seems there are a few there that need authoring. At any rate, using 4.0 would be better if I'm writing for that build.
