Description: In Master, if you try to find out how to define custom colors you end up being presented with a WRITER-specific page which says to use Format-Area-Area, but there is no such option in the Format menu in Calc. Please document what the procedure is for Calc. See attached spreadsheets for what Help currently shows. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Calc 2. Help->LibreOfficeDevHelp 3. In the Help window which opens in your browser: 3a) In the "Module" drop-down, select Calc 3b) Type "color" into the search box [see screenshot #1] 3c) Click "colors -- adding" under the CALC heading Actual Results: A help page is displayed which says to "Choose Format - Area -Area" but there is no such option in the Format menu. Expected Results: Help should display information about how to define custom colors in Calc Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

I meant "see attached *screenshots*" for what Help currently shows. Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: e3e15d8c625cbf56e1f03d9ebde966e78844c7a4 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2018-12-13_20:10:25 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
I get a page https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01010501.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3150771 Indeed, in part "To access this command" the hints are not specific enough. The dialog is only available, if there is something, that has an area fill or a background. For Calc this can be a cell ("Choose Format - Cells - Background"), for Writer this can be the page ("Choose Format - Page - Area") or a paragraph ("Choose Format - Paragraph - Area"). Or it can be a selected shape ("Context menu - Area").
Created attachment 175192 [details] Screenshot showing the problem The main problem here is that when you click the link (colors -- adding) listed under Calc, it still opens as SHARED, thus not showing information specific to Calc. However, the Calc version does exist... it is just unreachable in this manner, which in my opinion may be a bug with how the Help indexes some pages. Here you'll find relevant information for Calc, but I could not reach it by clicking the link in the Help. https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/05210200.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=UNIX See the attached image that better explains what I mean.
