help not downloaded at install how can I get the file?
If you are using one of the current releases, there are links to the offline help files on Download LibreOffice | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft
For earlier versions start at Index of /libreoffice/old and select the appropriate version; note the help file version must match the version of LO you have installed.
