It is questions like this that make me think that OOo should include

totally inadaquate.
How so? Search Footnote and it tells you how. In what way is the
help "totally inadequate"?
I have sometimes found the info under Help to be out of date, and many
topics are simply not covered at all. Also NO help system in ANY piece
of software is ever a real and adaquate substitute for a good users
manual. Many times I have found that what you really need is to have
the software on screen in front of you and a manual open on the desk at
the same time. In other words, you need a hard copy!
One should be a quick start manual, and the other should go into
extensive detail about all the modules. If there are manuals there
now, I have not found them which shows that if they are there, they
are too hard to find.
