They are by default, or you can set it so that it doesn't go out online, but
instead accesses local help files; at any rate, I tried both settings, and
neither worked.

Yes, if I was looking for help myself, I would go to the web but my users
need context sensitive help that is a click away. Can't convince them
otherwise.

Aren't some of the help files accessed via the web from microsoft.com?

Or have your users use google for help--the help outside the purview of
microsoft often seems more robust than that provided by microsoft.
