Thank you for a very prompt response.

I have now dowloaded and installed the Debian (*.deb) files and all is
working.  However, when I try to install the GB (English) pack 
(LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-GB), I get the error message

zed@zed ~ $ cd
/home/zed/Downloads/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-GB/DEBS
zed@zed ~/Downloads/LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-GB/DEBS $
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Unpacking replacement libobasis3.3-en-gb-help ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libobasis3.3-en-gb-help:
 libobasis3.3-en-gb-help depends on libobasis3.3-en-gb; however:
  Package libobasis3.3-en-gb is not installed.
dpkg: error processing libobasis3.3-en-gb-help (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libobasis3.3-en-gb-help

Trying to install that package leads to

zed@zed ~ $ sudo apt-get install libobasis3.3-en-gb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libobasis3.3-en-gb is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libobasis3.3-en-gb' has no installation candidate

A search for the package leads to Ubuntu PPAs but as I am using the Debian
edition of LinuxMint, I am reluctant to use these, in case there are future
problems.

Any further advice would be appreciated.
