Online help for Excel VB Reference

[taxidimu]

MS Excel 2003 installed, with Help feature.
If I open Excel > Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor > ?(help) >
Online Help for VB > VB Reference
and, for example

Functions

and select a function (say "Mid") no detail is displayed for this item

Same happens for all topics under VB Reference

What is missing?
Thanks

If you type "Mid" in the code window and press F1, does the same thing
happen?

I type "mid" and press F1:
the online help opens and displays the MID function.
In the window code a suggestion is also displayed after "mid("
Thank you.

That's what you wanted, correct?

I expect to have the same details if I click on the "? Function Mid"
line in the Summary of VB Help

When I go to Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor, there is no help
menu the way you describe it. In my copy of XL 2003, there are three
options:

Microsoft Visual Basic Help F1
MSDN on the Web
About Microsoft Visual Basic

The VBA help is actually a separate help file, you might need to
install it.

I'm still confused about your goal. Do you want help with VBA
functions, or do you want to browse them a certain way?
