Hi HdV,

Which document(s) did you download?  I am guessing you are referring to
the GNOME 1.2 Users Guide.

Plain text would probably be the easiest way to list these improvements.  
Our original format is SGML, not HTML, so plain text would be easier to
merge back than HTML.  Perhaps you could take before and after snippits of
each sentence you change so we can just search through the docs by hand.

Thanks for your help.  Having a second or third pair of eyes reading over
each document always helps out.
