I've added some ideas there which came to my mind. They're probably in the 
wrong section, it is hard for me to differntiate between beginner/advanced 
tasks.

I think that is the right approach, IMHO writing these chapters is more 
important, especially for the big picture when you're new to an app, than 
documenting every checkbox and combobox in an index (which in the end is 
probably also needed).
