--- Comment #4 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com> ---
Web-based Help should operate differently, uses a 3-column layout and so does
not have a right-hand pane, does not have its own scrolling because browsers
do, and is not the subject of this bug report. I often have to work in LO
without Internet access, such as on a train or in many neighborhoods I pass
through, so I, and some others, need local Help.

The local Help is native to the LO installation. LO came with Fedora Linux. I
most recently cleanly reinstalled (including auto-repartitioning) Fedora 32
and, by keeping it evergreen, it is now F33. LO is kept evergreen courtesy of
keeping Fedora evergreen. Therefore, LO's local Help is as up to date as is the
whole LO in whatever repositories the Fedora update process uses. LO Help is
installed as part of LO, including updates. When updates are supplied, the
Software app lists LO components (Writer, Calc, etc.) but, I think, does not
separately list LO Help. Therefore, it is updated when a component, like
Writer, is updated.

I considered your suggestion to install LO (I think the .rpm format goes with
Fedora) but I don't want to overwrite the Help F33/LO supplies. Is there a way
to do a test installation without disturbing the existing installation? Do you
still need me to run a test like that?

I'm changing the status; change it back if desired.
