I think it's fairly common. It took me quite some time (like several
months) to get it into my head... someitmes I would remember, other
times not. Mostly I just use writer so it's not  often a problem. I
seem to find my way around OK, but I tihnk you have a point that the
Help might need interface might need some work.

Mind you, it is a B-I-G improvement over the days of about 1.0 when
much of the Help was just imported pretty well direct from Star Office
or was just plain not there!

I'm sure that the doc. people would wlecome your input and help.
