Question for Excel 2000 9.0.8950 SP-3

I'd like to use the onboard VB help within Excel, but I get the horizontal,
two-headed arrow when trying to use the Index search. Answer Wizard doesn't
work either, 'Contents' does work, but that is needle in a haystack type
searching. Native Excel help seems to work find, just not the VB component.

1) Any way to get the Index search to work?
2) Is there a searchable 'Index' on this site other than the discussion
threads?

Thanks for your help.
