Description Daniel Rentz 2016-03-14 11:13:01 UTC
1. Create a new Calc document with the sheets "Sheet1" and "Sheet2"
2. Create a named range "name1" with scope "Sheet2" (instead of "Document global")
3. Try to use that name in Sheet1:
- entering =name1 results in #NAME? which is exprected
- but entering =Sheet2.name1 does not work either

4. Try to get help for the "Scope" listbox in the "Manage Names" dialog by pressing F1
==> there is none.

Let's keep this open for the missing online help...

1. Open a Calc document
2. Open the "Manage Names" dialog (Ctrl+F3)
3. Create a new name
3. Move focus to "Scope" listbox
4. Press F1

This does nothing for me. What is another way to open it?

This is the Sheet - Named ranges and expressions - Manage menu item in 5.2+.
It was Insert - Names - Manage up to 5.1.x

Currently pressing the Help button takes me here: 
https://help.libreoffice.org/scalc/modules/scalc/ui/managenamesdialog/names

In theory this is referenced in the Define Names windows help, so it should work: 
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/source/text/scalc/01/04070100.xhp#42

But apparently it doesn't.
Comment 5 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2016-12-20 10:38:24 UTC
The Scope listbox has help, but it is linked to the "more" expander instead of the "scope" listbox.

The Help button takes me to the Scalc/modules/scalc/ui/managenamesdialog/names link, but only the /name item is linked in the xhp, that belongs to the Name input box, so that should not work despite my previous comment.
