The extension comes with help files for OpenOffice which are not supported by LIbreOffice. LibreOffice switched to HTML.

The LibreOffice is a community project. I suggest you to try to help others (and yourself)! Extract the .xhp HELP files from the .oxt (.zip) archice, and try to convert them into another formats.

meu:Tools>AddOns>MRI starts MRI with the properties and methods of the currenct document
meu:Tools>AddOns>"MRI <--" starts MRI with the properties and methods of the currenct selection.

A Double-click on an object property (or a method returning an objecct) inspects that object.
Ctrl+H opens the code window with the recorded code.

Nevertheless, you will hardly get anything done if your programming skills are low (VBA recorder).
