Hi :) The in-built help is a bit rubbish and out-dated but the official documentation is fairly excellent. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ The guides on the official page are the same as the ones on the wiki but the wiki has more guides and links to 3rd party documentation too.
The official website only has the guides for 3.3.x branch but the wiki has a load of things that have only recently been added for the 3.4.x branch. The problem with the in-built help is that 2 teams each thought it was the other team's job to update. The docs team doesn't seem to have permissions or access to the in-built help but even if they did then they are a tiny group and are a bit swamped so they have focused on the guides for now. Anyone that wants to join the docs team is very welcome!

But if you do not know the features of it, e.g. how to handle the gears, then you may study the Instruction Book, the User's Manual or whatever it is called. Just to avoid misunderstanding: I am talking about LibreOffice and it's LibreOffice Help -- not OpenOffice's. When I was new to LibO(-Base) I spent hours on trying to learn the logic of LibreOffice Help. Try your self: Let us say that you need to create a form (Base) in Design View based on a query , because you need fields from two tables in one of which you have a 'birthday' field that you want to be calculated as 'age' and want that age field visible on the form. You know how to do in MSAccess but not in LibO-Base. Start by pushing the LibreOffice Help button (lifebuoy) Good luck!
