Why haven't they just fixed the broken Build? The lack of help files to a new
Open Office user means that the suite is broke. I'm sure it would take less
time to fix, rebuild and repost the Download than it would the average OOo
newbie to find the problem find the fix, download and patch the Help files.
If the version builder was to lazy to fix it, Why couldn't someone have put a
bug and patch instructions on the Download page? Missing Help is not a minor
bug. it is a bug that renders a program useless for most newbies.
