Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with Menu Bar in 4.0.3

Hi :)
Don't worry about missing the in-built help.  The English version is not great.  Plus you have to 
download it and install it separately (which is probably the problem you are having)
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

The non-English versions get cleaned up a lot during translation but the English one is worth 
avoiding.  Try the proper guides instead

The menu-bar sounds as though the themes in Ubuntu have stuffed it up.  Try changing "Appearance" 
of the whole of Ubuntu and that should clear up.  If you then change back to the theme you like it 
might stay fixed in Libreoffice too.  Alternatively it's probably just that you need to install the 
"Desktop Integration" packages from inside the sub-folder in the installer.  Choose the 1 that is 
not KDE.  Even though you are not really using Gnome it still works anyway.  

Please let us know how you get on or if you need any of that de-geekifying.  
Good luck and regards from 
Tom :)
