Hello Samantha
1st question — not sure why Sidebar is capitalised. Easily changed when I
create 2nd draft.
2nd question — it is a note. Warning header, in my opinion, should not be used
at all. There is no danger to life or serious risk of injury, which is what a
warning is all about. Definition of a warning comes from ISO rules. Also, in my
opinion, caution should not be used. There is no real danger of causing a
malfunction of equipment. In software guides there is only a need for notes and
tips.
While this may be true for Impress, I think that there are cases in Base
in which using a caution makes sense. Data can be lost permanently if
the user does not pay attention to what they are doing. Many of these
thing are mitigated by Base offering to save something.//When creating a
new form, saving it often is very important. This is especially true in
areas where power is not always reliable as where thunderstorms are
relatively common during the hotter part of the year.

Had a quick look at your suggestions and you have made some good points.
Moving figures would create large white spaces in the document. In my opinion,
too much white space in a document is something to be avoided. It looks very
unprofessional. I am of the old school where user guides used to be printed.

Hi Peter, and Team,
I have completed a first pass review of Impress Chapter 3 and uploaded it to the Feedback
folder (changes noted on the Status Spreadsheet). Peter, you mentioned in an email to
Felipe that "the template for version 7.0 is not 100% set in stone." As such, I
did not investigate too deeply the finite formatting details. I do have a few quick
questions, though, and perhaps they are template-related questions:
Why is Sidebar capitalized, but main menu bar and toolbar are not?
Was there a decision made about the Note header on page 2 to be re-styled as a
Warning header?
Overall, I thought the writing was very clear and concise---I was able to
follow all the directions easily.
Cheers,
Sam.

Hi Peter, and Team,
I have downloaded Impress Chapter 3 for first review. Expected return date is Saturday
the 15th. Just a quick note: I've been getting a "502 Bad Gateway" error on the
Status Spreadsheet, but I will try again later to update that page.
Cheers,
Sam.

Chapter 3 Adding and Formatting Text for the Impress Guide 7.0 has been
uploaded to the Drafts folder on NextCloud and is ready for review and comment.
This chapter has been rewritten for two reasons.
1. The changes in Version 7.0 required a rewrite of the old version of the
chapter.
2. The old version of this chapter was very poorly written and probably by
someone who was not experienced in writing software guides. It was confusing
and difficult to follow in some instances. Hopefully I have now corrected that
problem.
One comment I must make is that whoever wrote Version 4.3 of this chapter did
not add their name to the contributors list at the front of the guide. My name
appears there as the last contributor and makes it look like I wrote this
version of Chapter 3. I definitely did not and the text is definitely not my
style or quality.
If anybody writes a chapter or does a review and comment, then PLEASE add your
name to th contributors list.
