--- Comment #53 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Here is one last set of tips that I will try to add before the string freeze.

As before, it can be useful to get other "eyes" looking at the formulations.
(also the syntax, with quotes, etc.)

The tips are based on breaking up the following current tip about Sections...

"Use Sections in %PRODUCTNAME Writer to protect part of a text, show/hide text,
reuse parts from other documents, use different column layout."  

...into the following more specific tips.  


1. Want a different column layout for a part of a Writer page? Insert >
Section, set with Columns tab, and place text in that section.

2. Want to keep a part of an editable document as read-only? Insert > Section. 
Add text to the section, then right-click ‘Edit Section’ - ‘Write Protection’ –
check ‘Protect’.

3. Want to show the contents of another document within your document?  Use
Insert > Section and select Link

The main reasons for the proposed changes are (a) if the user has never heard
of “section” then it seems confusing to be told all the functions in the
current tip, and (b) the different uses of section mentioned there have
different procedures.  

I have tried to make short, concrete examples about “section” that may seem fun
or surprising or interesting, and that are concrete about the specific
procedure to achieve the function.  While these three “section” tips do not
exhaust all the section possibilities, it easy enough to discover others, once
the general idea of Insert > Section is discovered.
