I wouldn't worry errors in my attitude, I've just become so used to 
crappy documentation anymore I consider it the norm.  And when I went to 
the Writer manual to find out something, it wasn't there.  While in 
Calc, open Help and search for "locked documents".  I get a blank page.

I rarely use spreadsheets, as doing mathematical calculations are rare 
for me.  Many use spreadsheets for databases, but I would use a 
database.  And probably not LO Base, as there was something written 
about Base in this list I couldn't believe was true, but sadly, I'm not 
sure what that was.   LOL, CRS!

Hopefully, I'll find the time tomorrow to get the manual downloaded.
