Why is my Help not functioning

[SurveyGuy]

I am trying to access help to research some topics and keep getting the message to check my internet connection. But connection is fine.

@SurveyGuy 

A little more information about your digital environment, such as Excel version, operating systems and storage medium would be an advantage to get a solution proposal in time.

Welcome to your Excel discussion space!

As a first aid, I could suggest you to carry out an online repair in advance

(Control Panel, Programs and Features, Office 365, Change, Online Repair).

Important: Please select Online Repair instead of Quick Repair.

Restart the PC and open an Office application.

Thank you for your understanding and patience

Close Excel completely..

Restart Excel.

Try again.

@SAMPEM27 

Did you check the resource monitor whether Excel was completely closed?

File | Account | Sign out then Sign back in

If I knew what that was, I would try it.

That actually worked. Fixed both Excel and Word. Thanks.

Thanks. Closing it and reopening it does work but after awhile it can act up again.

You're welcome! Glad it worked.
