Re: [libreoffice-users] Question

Hi, 

Cliff, you "hijacked" a thread (meaning replying to an email and only changing the subject). Please 
ask new questions in a new thread (by composing a new message and not replying). 

Your email appears in a different thread in my mail client. So you might get less responses to your 
question. 

Thanks.

Which version did you install? Did you also install the corresponding language pack? If I remember 
correctly, you have to install

1. software package
2. language package
3. help package

In this order. 

I agree, that this is unfortunate. I don't know, if this is well explained on the download page or 
not. If not, it should be added there, so that the user doesn't get a "surprise" of a not working 
local help. 

Sigrid
