Return to Introduction

I often need to use the Help facility in Microsoft Word, as the menus are so complex and poorly laid out (do you know how to create an automatic table of contents, or set up the page for 3 columns of text?).

Every time I use Help, it goes to the Internet, which takes a few seconds. This annoys me greatly. Here's how to turn it off.

On the Word main menu, click Help, then click on Microsoft Office Word Help as circled in this image:

This will cause the Help window to open. At the bottom of this window, you will find Online content Settings. Click that one time.

By default, the option Show content and links from Microsoft Office Online is checked.

Uncheck that option. You then need to restart Microsoft Word for the new setting to take effect.
