NSIS installer for OpenOffice.org with manuals
What manuals? I thought you knew! look around in the help area of OpenOffice.org and dig, you will find the PDF manuals for 3.x and 2.x http://www.openoffice.org, help, documentation project, leads you to http://documentation.openoffice.org, look in Download Documentation section for 3.x series docs. also look under Conceptual Guides. the calc manual is incomplete. there are also tutorials you can include if you look for them. you can make shortcuts to local files for a pretty nice help system if you want to after you have extracted them. I have the whole uncompressable installer at http://jesusnjim.com/OOo.html#3noinet and it has all the manuals in it and the install script too. also includes a cleaned up OpenClipart (no pirates or skeletons or spiders or thieves). Ah, and don't forget to link to all wikis and blogs... "the calc manual is incomplete." That describes one of the issues. The community manuals are not ready at the time of release of the product, hence they can not be incluced. Not to talk of the availability of localized versions for any non-English installers. Getting started with OOo should be possible using the application help that is part of the product. If you feel that this is insufficient you are welcome to help with improving the application help. I think it's fair to expect the availability of an internet connection for access to further documentation. I should like even like the courtesy of incomplete manuals in a product rather than no manuals at all on hand. If there are no manuals, the program had *better* be really intuitive! If it's not in any way (such as the database or math) I need manuals. *please* include them. thank you. as for wikis, one link to the documentation area http://documentation.openoffice.org should be sufficient labelled "documentation updates". people will be able to figure out what to do with that. |
