Network Connection Error in Excel

Copper Contributor

I get the following error when trying to access Help in Excel.

 

Sorry, something went wrong. Please check your network connection and try again.

 

My wireless network is fine. I get internet access on my laptop and iPhone, so I know it is not my home network.

 

Any known issues?

I found this online and it fixed the Excel Help issue for me.

I solved with following:

by clicking File then Options>Trust Center>Trust Center Settings...>ActiveX Settings and disable Safe mode

restart office and it works

This worked for me, also.  Thanks!
