The Apache OpenOffice download includes the help files. They are accessed with the menu Help -> OpenOffice Help. Are you possibly using LibreOffice?

You're using both, but which one do you need help with? LibreOffice is not Apache and you can't download LibreOffice from Apache. Search for "download libreoffice help files" if that's what you need.

The OpenOffice download is a "full installation" including Help files. There is no separate download. Why do you think there are no Help files in Apache OpenOffice? Are you getting an error message?

The help files for Apache OpenOffice are not the same as the help files for LibreOffice.
For OpenOffice the files are included in the installation tile that you downloaded in order to install OpenOffice.
For LibreOffice they can be downloaded from https://download.documentfoundation.org ... _en-US.msi in order to be able to use them offline.

Is it possible that a custom installation was used for AOO and the Help files were de-selected for installation? I'm not using Windows, so I don't know if that is an option.

While it is an option for a Windows installation, it would have to be intentionally done.
Fixing this would be a simple manner of running the installer again and having the help files selected.
If the installer isn't available, then the installer would have to be downloaded again.

Note that you must download the version of LibreOffice help package that matches your version, and language, of LibreOffice; once installed, the Help pages will open in your browser, unlike Apache OpenOffice help pages.

You can find the LO version using Help | About LibreOffice.

far out I have followed these project since Star Office was free, and in my honest opinion it just gets worse.
I lost interest, after I made the question, I just installed the latest libre, one thing I leaned is you have to get the same version help files to the same version program

And I just installed libre version 7.1.4, I am not keen to do anymore updates if that is the drama you get.
