Description Ton 2013-08-29 18:48:49 UTC
Libre Office Helpfile does not open inside your final version 4.1.1.2
And if it by any chance opens then there is no description on the right side, just options list on the left.
Comment 1 tommy27 2013-09-05 23:39:25 UTC
please answer these:
1- exact Window version (32 or 64bit?)
2- describe the exact steps you do to open the helpfile
3- post a screenshot of the abnormal helpfile look you sse
4- did it work with previous releases? (specify which)
Comment 2 Ton 2013-09-06 00:09:07 UTC
1. Windows XP 32 bit
2. Just clicking the Help option inside the program
     brings me mostly to a website of LO instead of the helpfile
3. difficult for me.
4. Yes. 4.0. I have 2 computers, on one it works normally, the other not.

     Reinstalled the language pack several times, but no luck.

Thank you.

as far as I remember you should download separately the help pack (or select it during installation) in order to have an off-line helpfile.

If you don't do this, the Helpfile is accessed online only.
Comment 4 Ton 2013-09-06 09:41:46 UTC
Yes, I did that, in fact there is no other way looking at
the LO download page.
I think one crucial (index) file is corrupt.

Can I de-install the complete program without
loosing my macro's and then re-install it.?

1- locate your user profile (see instructions here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile)

2- create a backup copy

3- uninstall LibO

4- reinstall LibO with help-pack

5- is the user profile folder has been deleted by uninstall, replace it with backup copy

@Ton
did you solve your problem?
Comment 8 Ton 2013-09-11 07:34:03 UTC
No, but I will try to fix it later in October.
I am staying abroad at the moment.

Thanks.

I think it is a duplicate of bug 39325. 
@Ton, use en-US help pack instead, it is basically the same.
