OpenOffice help files and dictionaries

Message

If I try to access openOffice help, I get a dialog box saying

"The help system could not be started
The help file for this topic is not installed."

Is this correct. Are the help files not installed when I emerge openoffice? If so, where do I install them from? I can't find a separate help files package.

Also are any of the non-US dictionaries available in Gentoo? I would like to configure it for British English, but it doesn't seem to have anything except US English.

I cant help you with the help-pages, but Dictionaries you'll get with File->Wizards->Install new Dictionary

Thanks for that. That's dictionaries sorted.

I still need to know how to get the help files.

Hi tsr2:

Did you ever get the help files working?. I emerged Openoffice 2 and am having the same problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Bill Dika
