Created attachment 123040 [details]
graphic of Insert menu

I tried inserting a text file but could not find Insert > File.

Went to help - instructions Insert > File.

No File item in the Insert Menu.
Comment 1 MM 2016-02-27 18:46:43 UTC
I think they've renamed 'file' to 'document'.
Comment 2 Stanislav Horacek 2016-02-29 14:22:15 UTC
Confirmed - thanks for the report!

The dependency added because of different names for this command in Writer and Impress/Draw which should be solved at first.
Comment 3 Ming Hua 2019-11-30 11:07:30 UTC
Impress/Draw no longer has an "Insert -> File..." menu entry, and the title of bug 98274 has been changed.  I don't think it's relevant to this bug anymore.

So now the issue for Writer's help page seems to be just that the description of the menu entry doesn't match the UI.  For LO 6.2 and higher this entry is "Insert -> Text from file...".  This should be easily fixed, shouldn't it?

For the record, the relevant help page is
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/textdoc_inframe.html
Comment 4 Dieter 2019-12-03 12:54:08 UTC
Similar with HELP about Insert Menu:

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-GB/text/swriter/main0104.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN

"Document" has to be changed to "Text from File"

Comment 6 sdc.blanco 2020-01-11 12:00:02 UTC
@Ming and @Dieter Have I understood correctly that the OP is "out of date" but there were still corrections needed that you identified?  I have also found a third case.

It takes a few days after the commit before the change is visible.  But you can check here:

Maybe this issue is resolved now?

I agree this issue is fixed with your commit.  Thanks Seth!

In all three help-pages I can read Insert > Document, but it should be Insert > Text from File.

I would expect:

> https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/guide/textdoc_inframe.html

To insert text from a file (as heading)
2. Choose Insert > Text from File

> https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/main0104.html

"Text from File" instead of "Document"

> https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/01/04190000.html

"Insert (Text from File)" as heading
"Choose Insert - Text from File"

The changes are to be "online" (for 6.5) now.  But you may have to reload in your browser (to overcome the "cache").

Yes they are.

Seth, you seem to have missed this part.  The updated version still has a "Insert (Document)" heading.

Also, the "title" (I don't know exactly what it's called, the thing that's shown on my Firefox tab) of the page still reads "Insert (File)", I believe that needs a change as well.

I think a fourth file needs patching, source/text/swriter/01/04190000.xhp

Thanks Ming -- this is the source file for: 
 https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/01/04190000.html

I can see online pages have been updated now (but depending on your browser's cache, you may have to reload the page). Maybe everything is all right now?

Looks good.  This bug can be closed as far as I'm concerned.

... although Dieter's this particular point hasn't been addressed:

But I think the inaccuracy is not limited to the heading, and the whole paragraph needs an update, which is probably better discussed in a separate bug.

Did not attempt, because only incorrect information can be changed (to avoid retranslations).

Sounds right. Then headings can also be discussed.
Comment 17 sdc.blanco 2020-01-24 10:37:00 UTC
Will close as Fixed and assume Reopen as needed.
Or that a new bug will be filed, as suggested in comment 15.
