Hi everyone

I have a problem with help file in all Office applications (Access, 
Word, Excel etc). Two forms open when I press F1 to invoke help 
system in any Office application instead of one (parent and docked 
child).The first form is completely blank (usually this is the form 
that has the menubar and toolbar that contains contents and index 
buttons etc) and second window opens separately (undocked) on top of 
the first window and has details that are usually contained in the 
child window (I am sending screen dump to Files section for you to 
check if you want to). For example, this is what I get in Word on the 
second form.

I tried removing help component using Add/Remove Program and then 
adding it back later but that didn't work. I also tried restoring the 
system to time when help system worked but that didn't fix the 
problem either. I do not want to completely repair or uninstall 
Microsoft Office if I can help it because I have too many add-ins 
that I would have to reinstall and setup as well.

Does anyone know how to fix the problem, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
