Hi Trevor,
In addition to what Carol suggested, if you really want to eliminate
any connections to the MS Office Online website when you pose a Help
question, and only want your Table of Contents (TOC) to reflect what is
already stored on your computer, you may also want to try the
following:
Open Word.
Click HELP on the menu bar.
Click "About MS Word".
Once the MS Word Help taskpane appears...at the very bottom you should
see a hyperlink called "ONLINE CONTENT SETTINGS".
Click on that and you should get a dialogue box called SERVICE OPTIONS.
If you deselect the box that says "show content links from Microsoft
Office Online", you'll then get a yellow highlighted message saying
"these changes will not take effect until this application is
restarted".
Click OK.
Reboot your computer, and then re-open Word. The next time you go for
help via the TOC, you hopefully won't get any online assistance, but
will still receive what has already been pre-programmed into your Word
program.
Hopefully this will work for you. Let us know how you make out and
good luck!
Karen
P.S. This process should be reversible as well, should you decide
later that you DO want the Office Online help. You would basically do
it in the same manner. (I've done it in the past as well...)
