Yet more typos:

P546. The following two sentences should be clarified as they do not appear to be logical: "Use ttb to print the data vertically from the left column to the bottom row of the sheet. Use ltr to print the data horizontally from the top row to the right column of the sheet." I suspect what is intended is something along the lines of "Use ttb to print the data vertically starting from the top of the left column and ending in the bottom row of the rightmost column of the sheet. Use ltr to print the data horizontally from the leftmost cell of top row to the last cell of the rightmost column of the sheet." (On a technical issue, do Japanese tables go from left to right, or from right to left? Do you need to specify direction when defining ttb? Can't it depend on the currrent writing directon?)

P553: Correct "a header footers" - not sure what to, perhaps "a header or footer" - certainly not "a" then a plural. Later in the para you use "the header or footers" which may be what is meant.

P554: Correct "If both properties are attached used simultaneously," probably by removing "attached"

P556: Change "line-trough" to "line-through". In subsequent paras (including next page) change all occurences of "line through" to "line-through".

General: Some but not all references to XLink are identified as references by being printed within square brackets. What determines when this entry should and should not be a reference?

P647: Change "the top corner of frame" to "the top corner of the frame"

P662: Change "three-three-dimensional" to "three-dimensional"

P673: Section 15.36.3 ends with "See" and no reference.

P685: Remove duplicate period at end of first para of 17.4

P690: Why are Blowfish and CFB set in fixed width on this pages when they were in normal san serif on P685 in Point 5?

P691: Change "16 byte" to "16-byte" (or vice versa) to make the consecutive occurrences the same.

Here endeth the effort.
