Sorry it’s taken me so long to answer your reply. Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it, but still have the problem.

To clarify the matter, in Visual Basic, when clicking the Help button, I get three choices.

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Help F1—still get message saying: You need an Internet connection to view Visual Basic Help, but your administrator doesn’t allow you to connect. One other thing. Excel switches from Visual Basic mode to the worksheet mode. That doesn’t seem that should happen.

MSDN on the Web—Works as expected.

About Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications…—works as expected.

Excel 2003 works just fine on this PC with Windows 8.1. Shouldn’t Excel 2013 do the same?
