# Chapter 1. Current status of this manual

| This manual is out of date in many areas. Over the past two months, KOffice has continued to evolve into the start of a powerful office suite. During that time, however, my time has been short for updating the documentation for KWord because of the tremendous need to document all of the new and updated applications in KDE 2.0. Because of this, the KWord documentation has fallen behind. KWord has not changed drastically in how it operates, but you may find that many of the details of the interface have changed. This will be corrected ASAP. If any of you out there are interested in helping the KDE documentation team, please feel free to send me a message at `<mpmcbride7@yahoo.com>` Sincerely Mike

# 1.1. Whats done and what needs to be done

## 1.1.1. What is done

Sections 1-8.2.6 have been reviewed, snapshots updated, icons correct, etc. These sections are up to date. Any comments anyone has on these sections of the manual, would be greatly appreciated.

## 1.1.2. What is not done

This is a list (a rather long list) of things which still need work in this manual:

- Continue to review previously written sections.

- Write "Character Formatting Toolbars"

- Write Kword Options

- Write Zoom

- Finish Detailed Guides

- Write Answers to Questions in Q and A

- Add to Glossary where needed. Some terms are undefined. Most are poorly defined.- This is much better thanks to Jost.

- Organize "Keyboard shortcuts" into subjects, then organize table by subject

- Finish Find and Replace Section.

- Finish up "Add to dictionary section"

- Finish Autocorrection (when implementation is complete).

## 1.1.3. Just before release of KOffice.......

- Complete section on authors.....

- Write a section for each of the inport/export filters (ASCII, HTML, Word97, etc).

- Check all screenshots for new features, differnt looks

I want to make this very clear. This is a first draft (of many). My initial goal, is to get a good start on every section of this documentation. After this first draft is complete, I will rework each section again for more clairity/completeness.

I would be very interested in any part of KWord that people find particularly difficult or confusing. You can either write me directly, or post your comments on the koffice mailing list (which I faithfully read). These comments will help me focus the documentation better.

You may also notice (if you are reading this closely at all), that sections of this guide will often end abruptly with "STUFF". This is a marker to remind myself that more needs to be added, or the section needs to be worked on again.

Thanks
