Help broken LibreOffice 24.8.4.2 (X86_64)

English
#1

I installed LO 24.8.4.2 (X86_64) and its help pack to the same directory. LO Calc and the other modules will not show Help. They are looking for an HTML file (LibreOffice/help/index.html), which does not exist. In Tools-> Options there is no path for Help anymore.

If I directly double-click on “E:\Program Files\LibreOffice\help\en-US\noscript.html” I’m taken to a page in my Brave browser that says “Enable JavaScript in the browser to display LibreOffice Help pages.” That is a privileged page where permissions cannot be configured. I removed NoScript but that did not help.

I tried LO in Safe Mode with the same result.

I think you are asking in the wrong forum. Try this, How to enable Java Script - Desktop Support - Brave Community

The Help you downloaded must match the program file for

  • bitness, 32 or 64 bit
  • operating system
  • language. Note that if the program is en (GB) then Help of en (US) will not work.

Double-clicking on "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\help\index.html" instead
.
Note that in your question you said you deleted a file. Reinstall the help.

I’m asking here because LO is looking in the wrong place for a help file that doesn’t exist. I’m using the English version of Calc.

#4

I get the same error message if I open the file in Firefox, so Brave isn’t the problem. LO is looking for a help file that doesn’t exist, in a folder that doesn’t exist.
