I've been playing with OpenOffice Beta 3 (build 9328)

I couldn't access HELP unless a document was open. Might be nice not to loose 
it when all document 
windows are closed.

I also couldn't find a menu option to update the software or an option to  open 
the 'home' URL 
associated with it.

But help 'goes away' when no document windows are open. Historically the main 
menu functions are 
always visible in a Mac application. Those menu functions that are not 
available at any given moment 
are grayed out. It would seem the implementation of OO goes against that 
approach and the root 
application has only the APPLE and FILE and the specific applications add the 
other menus and sub-
menus as appropriate. In part my 'complaint' is because OO is not 'Mac-like' in 
this regard.

My logic is this certain menu functions should always be available. Three menu 
functions come to mind 
immediately: One is Help. Another is Update. The last one is the URL of the 
application. If the user 
closes all the windows, or has problems and can't open windows, then help isn't 
available and an 
'update' isn't possible nor is it possible to get from the application from a 
URL within the application.

See also issues number 94537, 94539 which were spawned from the discussion I 
started on 'discuss' 
subject '... [discuss] Couple of observations'
