With Excel 2003 [1], when I search for help using the
Office Assistant, it automatically does a network search
of Microsoft Office Online.

This did not happen with Excel 2002 [2].

How can I disable the network search, limiting the search
(I presume) to local help information?

The network search can cause an intermidable delay when
using a "slow" network path.

I noticed a similar delay even when I selected bold font.
Is that same or different problem?
