Due to my semi-retirement and other time constraints, I haven't done any
LO editing anytime recently. However, my guess for any missing words
and such in LO's working documentation could be related to some
conditional or hidden text being used. LO Writer is somewhat limited in
its conditional text, though. So, it's likely that there is none.
When I was a technical editor at Motorola (and its Freescale
Semiconductors subsidiary), working on their firmware-developer user
guides for the assemblers, compilers, linkers, and SDKs for the
numerous, various families of their embedded microcontrollers, they
employed master working documents using Adobe FrameMaker conditional
text for almost all of those developer manuals, some of which had over
two dozen output versions, depending upon with semiconductor family was
covered.
If viewing a master document that was not properly set up for viewing
any conditional text, that document would have literally thousands voids
of missing text--or if set up differently (showing all of the
conditional text simultaneously), that document would cover all the
variations of conditional text for all those semiconductor families--one
huge jumble of multicolored text, in numerous, separate colors for each
output version.

Which _specific_ manuals/texts are you referring to here? Some of the
publicly available is at has been through multiple copy-edits, style
edits, and line edits. Most of the documentation is somewhere between
those two points.
