I had the en-US version installed & working fine. To check to see if there is any difference with en-GB, I uninstalled en-US and installed en-GB, and to my surprise, when I press F1 I get exactly as you describe: online help only. So it looks as if you've found a bug. You can use the following to file a bug report: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ Given that it's such an obvious bug, I'd check to see if one has already been filed: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=en-GB> doesn't look like it with that search (en-GB), so I'd file a new bug. In the interim, you can install the en-US or en-ZA help pack - just ignore some of the word spellings: <https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86> Click ion the language you wish (I know that en-US works) & then just download and install that help pack. You can uninstall after your bug is resolved. ... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
