How to insert date at the beginning of a letter?

Also how do I install the built-in help on my 6.4.2.2. I can’t find any place to download this program.

I removed tag common as it is obviously a writer question, though the “explanation”, which is totally unrelated to its title, could be tagged “common”. It is a bad idea to change topic between title and description beCause only the title appears in the list of questions.

Insert >Field > Date

You can download the help files from libreoffice download page, by choosing “Help for offline use”, below the download button.

Choose different operating systems until the “Help for offline use” shows up, for the operating system of your choice.
