Hi :) The in-built help is not always perfect nor up-to-date and has a very tiny team maintaining it and they seem to be a bit geeky sometimes. The English Documentation Team are not involved in updating or de-geekifying them.
The best help (in English) is the Published Guides from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications (or from the official website or elsewhere (such as the Ubuntu 'Apps' Store or iBookstore). From our official site or the wiki link you can download them for free although i used their links to get me to the bookstore and buy a few paper-back printed versions (partly to give a financial donation to the project and partly to show off how good the books are to my colleagues) I'm probably going to be chucked off the mailing-lists now for being too honest in this and certain other threads, such as the one about avoiding using the internal back-end in Base.
