I downloaded Open Office 2.1 a little while ago. I have Windows XP, Version
2002, Service Pack 2. I have been using spreadsheets, but couldn't remember
if I had used the help function. I jsut tried to make sure it was working
and it seems to be fine. I did notice that under "Contents" you have to
double click a heading to expand/open a section.
Unless there are other indications, I suggest the simplist thing to try
first is to unstall it (including any elemtnts left behind in the registry)
and then perform a new download.
By the way what is "md5sum"? Is this the repair option? How do you use it?

I've recently downloaded OpenOffice, & all software elements are working.
The "Help" files work too - except in Calc. If I ask to open a help
page related to any Calc function, I get the following message:
Could not find Help page.
Unfortunately the Help page you selected was not found. The following
data
could be helpful in locating the error:
Help ID: text/scalc/guide/<filename>.xhp
where <filename> varies according to the topic.
In the OpenOffice folder, in Programs, the same kind of files are there
in
\help\en\scalc.idx as in the other help folders, so it looks as though
everything downloaded OK. Is something wrong with a lookup or index
somewhere? Is there a simple way to sort this without downloading the
whole suite again?
Advice welcome!

First, you should check the md5sum of your download:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/md5sums.html
If the download is good, try reinstalling with the repair option.
After that, I don't know. It's possible, I suppose, that replacing your
user settings folder would remove the problem. Try renaming the folder at
the end of this path:
c:\documents and settings\username\Application Data\ OpenOffice.org2\
Under Win 98 - C:\Windows\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\
You must exit all OOo processes first, including the Quick Starter. If
that
does not work, you can restore your old settings folder by changing its
name
back to the original.
