Can't close the "Help" window.

[Joe]

When I open the "Help" window, I am not able to close it - without
quitting the entire Word program. There does not seem to be any close
button on the Help window. It's top line is the one with the green
forward and back arrows on it. Also, can't move or minimize the Help
window to get it out of the way. The same thing happens with the
other Office for Mac programs.

Any thoughts?

It's jammed under the menu bar.
There are two ways to rescue it.
1. With the help on screen, use System Prefs » displays to change the
pixels to something smaller like 800*600. Wiggle the help window, now
that you can see the top bar with the smarties. Put the screen res
back. You will still be able to see the smarties.

2. If that don't work, write or nick a macro to re-locate it. Google
the group or ask again.

I went for ages thinking that's the way help was. I finally asked here,
got a sensible reply, and I've been coming back ever sense.
