I am unable to get the F1 key to generate anything except a "not installed on your computer" message. I cannot find either under Yast or Google where to get the appropriate package to add the help files.
Thanks Don
I am now a bit afraid of contributing to this thread. I learned a lot from my interactions, sorry any dumb mistakes. But the following does work. There were comments posted about corrupting possible future upgrades, but I kept a copy of the original directory, as shown below. It is just a few directory heads that are populated by the files present in the downloaded RPM. I can reinstate the original en-US before any upgrades. /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/en-US/ |-- sbasic.idxl |-- scalc.idxl |-- schart.idxl |-- sdatabase.idxl |-- sdraw.idxl |-- simpress.idxl |-- smath.idxl `-- swriter.idxl Again, I clicked on the "libreoffice built in help" tab at the Libreoffice site: download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/6.0.3/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_6.0.3_Linux_x86-64_rpm_helppack_en-US.tar.gz which yielded an rpm: libobasis6.0-en-US-help-6.0.3.2-2.x86_64.rpm which are loaded into /opt. I copied the files, but a symbolic link from /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/ to /swl/libreoffice/help/ also makes the desired files available and LO help works. It was suggested that "instead of copying over files, you could create a symlink to the folder in /opt, that would make updating easier." The error I received from Help about files not being installed was not a fatal error, so again I thought what I was doing was permissible. The /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/en-US/en_US is at end of the tree, so I did not see where other sections would be corrupted. I had decided to learn Libreoffice, so I thought the help would be valuable to me.
