Re: [libreoffice-users] Help files bad link

Some years ago I had the same problem as you using LibreOffice on Windows.
It was solved by checking that the user interface language (Tools ->
Language settings -> User interface) was the same of that of the Help file
that you installed.

As an aside this problem doesn't arise under Linux as both the user
interface and the help are installed separately and will automatically have
the same language.  This is not the case with the Windows version and hence
someone not in the know can install LibreOffice in say the UK and
automatically have the user interface set to UK English.  If then the help
file for say US English is installed it will not be available.
