You need to go to Options -> Language settings -> Languages and make sure
that both "User interface" and "Locale setting" are set to English(UK).
You should then get the inbuilt help.

Why is it that the Help section of the American version of LO works
perfectly well and the GB does not? When I install the help section it
puts me online instead of residing in the program as the US version does!

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware that *the* Jim Seymour had
