This is a known issue, yet to be fixed. A workaround from another list
subscriber:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is from a posting in an earlier thread on this vexed issue:

There is a link given on that discussion (although I couldn't use it) and
the issue has been recognized by OOo developers etc. However try this First
close Openoffice Then visit the following website and download the four
files, scalc.db scalc.ht scalc.jar scalc.key
http://web.mit.edu/ooffice_v2.0/distrib/i386_rhel4/openoffice.org2.0/help/en
/

When downloaded put them into
C:\Program Files \OpenOffice .org 2.0\help\en
(using the default directory location)
....
This problem is discussed in Issue 59499. I followed the advice given there
and downloaded the Linux files. This has restored the Help system. I may,
however, download and install the Windows Help files in your reference,
above. Thank you.

You may have to work at it - see this:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=29628

I'd check the issue first just to get the latest:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope this helps.

Dave
