Can't get help for word macros

[JeffG]

I am writing simple macros for Microsoft Word 2007. When I am in the
document and want to work on the macro, I press Alt+F11 and that opens up the
macro workarea. If I click on the “Microsoft Visual Basic Help†and enter
almost anything, it is not found. I have even tried simple things like Save
or File and they aren’t found. I have gone into Tools -> References and made
sure things like “Microsoft Development Environment 8.0†and “Microsoft
Development Environment VB .Net†are checked. I know I don’t have something
set right but I can’t figure out what.

Anyone have an idea how I can fix the Help facility?

I don't think it's you. I was using VB Help religiously until about a week
ago when all the pages started coming up blank. I confirmed this on both my
home and work systems.

It's the "online" help pages only, and only in the VB Editor -- not Excel,
Word, or PowerPoint general help.

I right-clicked the empty pages (which are Web pages) and selected
Properties, and all pages point to "http/office2010.microsoft.com" -- I
have Office 2007 Enterprise. If I took a wild guess, maybe Microsoft got
eager to push out their Office 2010 product and revised their Help website
for Office 2010, but broke other versions of Office help. ???
