cd ~/Downloads/LO/LibreOffice_7.3.1.3_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US/DEBS/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

     I have a feeling that when you used dpkg to install the program 
that you may not have used it to then install help. I have a scrip that 
does both. Again, the location of the LibreOffice files has to be 
changed. The script then needs to be made executiable.

cd ~/Downloads/LO/LibreOffice_7.3.1.3_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd ~/Downloads/LO/LibreOffice_7.3.1.3_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US/DEBS/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
