Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup.

I installed Word 2003 about a week ago and generally like it over XP, 2000,
...., 6.

However, I can't figure out how to make "Help" come up in its own window.
It shares space with "Styles and Formatting...", "New..." and et cetera.
This is highly annoying. In Word XP the help window was displayed on the
monitor to the right of my working monitor. Now I can't access help while
"Styles and Formatting" is displayed, and I'm trying to figure out why some
things didn't come over correctly when I attached a template...

Thanks for any pointers.

Hi Mark,

You might like to try running a macro that contains the following command:

Shell "c:\windows\hh.exe e:\Office11\OFFICE11\1033\WDMAIN11.CHM",
vbNormalFocus

Thanks to Shauna Kelly.

Thanks!

It also works by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer. I
created a shortcut in my taskbar.
