The patch in comment 1 addresses these points.  It usually takes a few days before the online version gets updated, which can be seen here:

It is a good idea to look at the help for the upcoming version (I'm not saying you should have been aware of that). I added spacing in July: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/swriter/main0105.html

I guess let's keep this open. Some overlap with, for example, bug 118008

The Format menu help should be "correct" in appearance now.
But several controls in Format menu ( swriter/main0105.xhp )
need submenus (which do not exist yet) to be embedded.

They are:
"Align"  (can use an embed of  shared/01/05080000.xhp)
"Lists"  ( see swriter/main0206.xhp for useful material )
"Title Page"
"Frame and Object"  ( use embeds from swriter/01/04130000.xhp and swriter/main0215.xhp )
"Rotate or Flip"

Status: Still to be done. Feel free to take one.

03 view menu
06 styles menu
07 table menu
08 form menu
09 tools menu
11 help menu

additional submenus needed for format menu, see comment 9

IMO: 10 window menu is NAB

STATUS (and unassigning myself)

A. Writer menus that still need review and updating:
     View
     Form
     Help

B.  Mostly updated, but needs a little more work

       Table: ( missing 2 items)
          Header Rows Repeat Across Pages
          Rows to Break Across Pages

       Tools  (missing 4 items)
          Accessibility check
          Redact
          Auto-Redact
          Protect Document

       Format (has all commands, but could get submenus)
          code pointers for submenus:
 
          Align Text       
             shared/01/05080000.xhp provides the start for this submenu, 
             but it needs to be modified and appl-switches will be needed to 
             coordinate with other modules.)

          Lists 
             can make as a shared file, with appl-switch  to be used with
             Impress and Draw, most embeds can  be found already in 
             swriter/main0206.xhp


          Frame and Object
             use embeds from swriter/01/04130000.xhp and swriter/main0215.xhp

          Rotate or Flip

How far are we with this issue?
Could the reporter please check what remains open (if anything at all)?

Looking at Seth's summary in comment 18 and the subsequent commits, it seems Format menu needs work on submenus.
