316287 2005-01-21 02:11:00 Recently lost ability to view help pages in some applications e.g. Word , Excel etc. Help page opens with left hand pane showing contents and right hand pane has message" ACTION CANCELLED! Internet explorer unable to link ..... " etc. etc. and can't open any items from contents list. Has this got anything to do with Service pack 2 or firewall?

You may have to reinstall them.

316290 2005-01-23 21:29:00 The first thing you should do is with any office app open click help and then detect and repair.
It will ask for your office disks .
Then you can narrow down where the problem is.
