Additional comments, for information: The "OOoAuthors" website referred to in the OO3.3 user guides no longer exists; that domain name now redirects to LO Docs. The reference in the OO3.3 guides and wiki to printed copies at Lulu.com is out of date; I removed those books some years ago as they were obsolete.
