Re: [libreoffice-users] help pack configuration for other language

Hi :)
The in-built help is not always perfect nor up-to-date and has a very
tiny team maintaining it and they seem to be a bit geeky sometimes.
The English Documentation Team are not involved in updating or
de-geekifying them.

The best help (in English) is the Published Guides from
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
(or from the official website or elsewhere (such as the Ubuntu 'Apps'
Store or iBookstore).  From our official site or the wiki link you can
download them for free although i used their links to get me to the
bookstore and buy a few paper-back printed versions (partly to give a
financial donation to the project and partly to show off how good the
books are to my colleagues)


I'm probably going to be chucked off the mailing-lists now for being
too honest in this and certain other threads, such as the one about
avoiding using the internal back-end in Base.
Regards from
Tom :)
