John The usual reason for this is that the language of the user interface is not the same as that of the help file that you installed. Look in Tools --> Options --> Language settings --> Languages and check that the User interface language matches that of the help file. I assume from your email address that you are in the US and so the User interface language should be set to English (USA) and you should have downloaded and installed the help file for English (USA). If this does not help solve your problem, then I cannot help you further, but maybe someone else can.
