Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. .... Help Menu ==> LibreOffice Help (F1)

Current behavior: pulls up a web page

Expected behavior: uses built-in searchable HTML help.  

LibreOffice Writer is a nice improvement over OpenOffice Writer.  However, I miss OO's built-in indexed and searchable help system.  Sometimes I'm working with no access to the Internet.  Plus, the standardized help with the search and index features make it easier to find help on a subject.  I did download the PDF manual, which was useful.  However, a built-in standard HTML help system makes it easier to find information.  Also, it should not just be a web page plugged in.  The HTML help systems created by a help authoring tool (HAT) are far better because they're so well organized for the user's benefit.

NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.6.3.2” German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 58f22d5]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) and installed Help Packs.

User Error - No Help package installed? INVALID for now
