Try this experiment, if you are using network printers, on one workstation,
remove all the network printers and re-install them as local using the IP
address of the printer, see if that speeds things up. It worked for me.

Hello All,

I'm not sure if this is normal operation but Excel 2000 Help takes a very
long time to load. I've tried on several pc's in our company and it takes
the same amount of time. Is there any way to speed up the process of opening
Help? Thanks for any comments/suggestions.

Sam
