Office 2007 Targeted Help

Ever since upgrading to Office 2007, targeted help no longer exists. No
matter what program I am in, when I choose the "?" in information windows,
select "Tell Me More" in interactive windows, or select help, I am brought to
the Office Online Main Help Page. How do I set up my programs, Word, Excel,
etc. to display the particular subject I want help on without having to do a
new search? This occurs both at my work computer and my home computer,
neither of which have an relation to one another.

In short, you don't. :-(

Since Office 2007 Help is now Online it's still being developed. You'll find
some dialog boxes have the context sensitive help added but others have yet
to be completed. I do know changes are being made, for example there was a
time Options dialog boxes didn't have context sensitive help and it's now
been added. I'll note the modifications don't seem to be happening very
fast, though.

Hi Schuess,

To add to Beth's reply, sometimes you may find that going to the lower right hand corner of the help window and changing the scope
to search only the help files on your PC will give you what you need rather than the online help.
