You can turn off the on-line help feature.

See http://snipurl.com/88on for Norman Harker instructions.

Note Frank's post about installing older help files if you have access to
them.

Hi John

my suggestion is to use

groups.google.co.uk
or
groups.google.com

and use advance search - the only pain is that you have to type
microsoft.public.excel*
into the "Return only messages from the newsgroup" section every time

however if you'ld like to let MS know what you think send them an email at

It's very frustrating when using help now that it seems all answers are
found
in tutorials on the web. They take forever to get through. Particularly
in
Excel. I use functions quite often and used to rely on the help function
to
help me determine which functions were available and how they worked. You
could find your function and a quick overview very quickly. It seems this
has disappeared, and all that's available in its place are tedious
tutorials
which take forever to get to the point.
