Try the following:
Bring up the Windows Task Manager and within the Processes tab,
select msohelp.exe then use the End Process button.
Bring up HELP again.

Hello Group,

I have installled Excel 2000 on a new Win XP Pc. When I activate help
in VBA, the cursor turns a horizontal arrow with arrow heads left and
right when I go into a cell window. I cannot select anything with this
strange behaviour.

Any explaination for this ?

Thanks,

Michael Singmin
