Not sure I understand correctly, so please forgive me if the following isn't going to help -

I have a feeling there might be a misunderstanding as to which "search box" you would like to use.

If you would like to search OpenOffice's help files, then you'd need to go to the Help menu (top right) and select "OpenOffice Help" (second item from top). The "Search" box that comes up at the top when opening the Help menu is a "Spotlight search" window, and belongs to the Mac operating system - really no use for OO, but that's Apple's responsibility... :-)

If instead you wish to search your OpenOffice document, then you'd go to the "Edit" menu and click on Find & Replace...

I have been assuming you are using OO on a Macintosh computer.

I have done as this suggests and have gotten nowhere. It searches text in documents that I have not created. I have docked the toolbar and all I want to do is un-dock the toolbar. I have even removed open office from my computer and re-installed it with no results. the tool bar is still docked and un usable. I once saw a way to reduce the space between lines and I cannot find it again.

Sir:
I need help. I cannot find the Search Term Text box in Open office help.

Exactly where do I find this. I have tried the binocular icon and all it finds in text in documents. I am tired of sending questions and never getting any answer. I am about fed up with this whole deal!

Click on Help, select Open Office Help, select Index tab, and the cursor is now active in the search term box. Labeled Search term.
