Help resizes window &%$#!
 

This problem is probably not excel specific: Is there a way to prevent help
routines to resize the program window?

When I start Excel-Help, the Excel window is reduced to half of the full
size - even if the help window is larger than the other half of the screen.
This causes a lot of swearing because I can't see anything in the worksheet
because the window is too small and I can't see the help window because it is
partly covered by the excel window.

My fear is I have to live with it. Can somebody convince me otherwise?
Thanks
