Hi Peter,

Thanks Regina, but this is exactly the sort of issue that I mentioned in my
last post. If I have to download ( and learn how to use) Cygwin and Git
before I can even get started, it's an instant turn-off!
To use the extension you only need the original help files. Download
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/libreoffice-help-5.1.0.0.alpha1.tar.xz
unpack it and you can start working on the help.
I give you the link to the "pre-release", because that is more up to
date than the help files from the common download page.
But the link you sent me seems to be for people who want to work on LO
itself - I just want to edit a section in a help page, which is a bit
different. Although I used to be a pretty good programmer, I don't have the
time or inclination to get stuck into modifying LO, much as I'd like to.
I thought it was clear which of those files are the help files,
obviously not. I have now added the direct link above. You need neither
the other source packages nor Cygwin to work on a help file.
If all that is not comfortable for you, than open the help page you want
to edit, set the cursor top-left, use Ctrl-A to mark the whole content,
use Ctrl-C to copy it to clipboard, open a new Writer document and paste
it. Save the document. Then proceed with change tracking as Lera has
described.
Kind regards
Regina
