Hi, I have version 3.0.4 and I offline help isn't available so I downloaded and installed it separately. It still says that offline help is not installed locally. I have looked in edit-preferences-help system-use locally installed copy and I get the same message. Any advise? Thanks

Hmmm...You do not appear to have a language installed ???

Edit -> Preferences -> Help System should have a language entry and changing from System Language to English [en_GB} will enable help.

   

If you overcome that hurdle, then first time you call help, F1 key, you might have to select your Web browser, I have Firefox installed but might be MS Edge.
