Re: Amendment to main/helpcontent2
Where does the help file come from, it seems to be here (/aoo-4.1.9/main/helpcontent2/source/text/) in 4.1.9...
Okay... Location is same in trunk (helpcontent2/source/text) ..
asf - Revision 1887653:
Looking in main/helpcontent2/source/text/swriter/guide/background.xhp
Line 55 - CORRECT
Line 67 - INCORRECT (requires updating)
<paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3151245" role="listitem" l10n="U" oldref="10">On the <emph>Area</emph> tab page, select the background color or a background graphic.</paragraph>
Line 81 - CORRECT
--end--
Looking in main/helpcontent2/source/text/shared/guide/background.xhp
Line 55 - INCORRECT (requires updating)
<paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3149581" role="listitem" l10n="U" oldref="26">On the <emph>Area</emph> tab page, select a background color or a background graphic.</paragraph>
--end--
Cannot find origins of "Defining Graphics or Colors in the Background of Pages (Watermark)" - Also requires updating
The page "Defining Graphics or Colors in the Background of Pages (Watermark)" then links to "Background tab page"
Cannot find origins of "Background tab page" - Also requires updating referencing "Background" instead of "Area" under the "To access this command... " subheading.
:)
Conclusion: Some cases of "<emph>Background</emph> tab" needs to be updated to "<emph>Area</emph> tab" to be correct. Some of the format windows use "Area" instead of "Background", so the help documentation does not relate with the name of the tabs.
In my case, on my 4.5.0 version;
Paragraph uses "Area"
Page uses "Area"
Paragraph Style uses "Area"
Picture uses "Area"
Frame uses "Area"
Object uses "Area"
Character uses "Background"
Table uses "Background"
:)

I just tested with AOO 4.5.0 on Windows 10 (en-US) and the tab is called
"Area" as described in the help file.
Note: There has been a change between 4.1.X and 4.5.0(trunk)/4.2.0.

As said before, there was a change between 4.1.X and trunk. This is
still work in progress for trunk/AOO42X.
Note: The above is fixed in source now, for localization there are some
more steps needed in Pootle [1].
