Can't Find "Help" in Excel 2003

I just upgraded to Excel 2003. The "Help" seems to be much different. It seems to be only an Online Help... and there is no "Index" feature that I can find. Is there a normal "Help" like what I had with Excel 97 ?

Hi
this is one of the 'wonderful' new Excel features. if you
still have your old installation CDs I'd suggest to copy
the older hlp files to your HD and use these help files
instead

Hi Steve!

Probably the best you can do is disable the online Help:

Tools > Options > General
Service Options
Online content
Remove the check from "Show content and links from Microsoft Office
Online"
OK
OK

Note that it requires a re-start of Excel.

This was one of those new features that most would rather do without.
