Switch between online and offline Help

The Connection Status menu in the lower-right corner of the Help window indicates whether you are looking at Help online or offline.

1. Do one of the following, depending on whether you are currently connected to the Internet or offline:
   • To see Help on Office Online, on the Connection Status menu in the lower-right corner of the Help window, click Show content from Office Online.
   • To see Help on your computer, on the Connection Status menu in the lower-right corner, click Show content only from this computer.

   This setting is retained after you close the Help window. The next time you open Help, the offline or connected status is the same as you left it.

2. Type keywords in the search criteria list, and then click Search .
