My O'Reilly book was only about Writer. I talked with O'Reilly on several occasions about doing an updated and/or expanded book, but they declined, I believe on the basis of low sales. The last time I asked, they were similarly uninterested in a book on LO. I have not had the energy to pursue this any further. FWIW, I did self-publish a book on AOO, titled Taming Apache OpenOffice: Getting Started. http://www.taming-openoffice-org.com/newsite/?p=1501 The book was mainly put together from the draft chapters of an AOO 3.4 user guide on the ODFAuthors website that the AOO docs project abandoned. This book was intended as the start of a series (Taming AOO Writer, etc), which I have never done. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: doc-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: doc-h...@openoffice.apache.org
