How do I install built-in help for 5.4.1.2 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS???
thanks,
Rich
How did you install LO 5.4.1? From LO website or from Ubuntu PPA?
If you installed LO 5.4.1 from LO website, in Download LibreOffice | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft click on “help for offline use” You will download an archive, proceed with it the same way you did for LO
If you installed from the Ubuntu PPA, open Synaptic and find the package libobasis5.4-en-us-help. “en-us” if you want the help in English (USA), change it for the correct language if it is different.
I have the auto upgrade through the “ppa” for the suite. I got this solution by searching online.
I used synap to search for the file name, but it was not there.
I was going to show you my my settings, but I don’t have enough “points” to attached the screen grab. I am not a true techy type. I follow instructions.
Thanks, but I am still lost.

What do you mean by “I have the auto upgrade through the “ppa” for the suite.” ?
Did you install LO 5.4 from the PPA or not ? If not how did you install it ?
Sorry. I wasn’t clear. I installed it from the “ppa”.
In which language do you want to have the offline help ?
I want to use English (American) for the built-in help.
If you installed from PPA, the name of the package does not have the version number, it is only
libobasis-en-us-help
Like I said, I’m not a techy. However, if I were to go to the SOFTWARE UPDATE in SYSTEM SETTINGS, and “uncheck” the lines for the libreoffice ppa, I should then be able to, down load from LO and perform the install/update from the down loaded packages.
Thanks,

In my previous comment, am I correct in understanding on how all of this works?
