Hi :) The "Published Guides" for OpenOffice or LibreOffice are often the best documentation for AOO or LO - at least for English readers. The LO ones, including incomplete books and archived versions, can be found at; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications for free or bought from the Lulu bookstore as proper paper-back books. I bought a few of these and I'm really glad i did even though i haven't read all of it yet! I think i managed to time it right so that Lulu were offering one of their frequent discount weekends or something. http://www.lulu.com/shop/libreoffice-documentation-team/getting-started-with-libreoffice-42/paperback/product-21682463.html The guides are also available in various App Stores or online book-stores for reading on-screen; such as the Apple store, the Ubuntu one and maybe others. They usually cost a bit but not much. Enough to cover the costs of publishing them in those places and a little more to allow a bit of expansion in their distribution. Also available on the official LibreOffice website (for free of course!); http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ For non-English languages it is usually the 'in-built' help that is far better. There are also on-line videos such as the excellent range at Spoken Tutorials; http://spoken-tutorial.org/ although they cover a much wider range of OpenSource projects so you'd have to hunt for LibreOffice in that lot :) Also while English is excellent they also do many languages from around the Indian basin as it's a non-profit organisation largely funded by the Indian Government.

I hope this clarifies why there may be problems with our documentationandinstructions etc and maybe, hopefully show a way of dealing with the immediate issue and/or how to set-up a strategy for helping fix what we have!Thank you Tom for that interesting explanation of the documentation website. It explains why I often have trouble finding answers there. I keep a local copy of "OpenOffice.org 3 Writer Guide" on my machine and can often find answers there faster than on the website.
