Ahah, i think you have to download the 2nd file as advised in quite a few places in order to get help-files downloaded onto your machine. Many people would consider the help-files "extra bloat" and struggle to keep their system bloat-free. At least i think that is how it works with most OpenSource programs.

Cold it be related to Java or the lack thereof? I have LibreOffice (final version) on an XP system here and on a Windows 7 64-bit system at the office, and in both cases, all I get is a *local* help file. I see no options to look for an online help nor any preference that would allow me to switch to online help I also have the latest Java ((r.23) installed on my computers.
