    Cannot reach Help from Excel 2007

    When I click on the "?" button, I do not reach Excel help but here's a portion of what's displayed:
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='File://C:\Documents and Settings\Jim & Dee\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\MsOfficeHelp12\MOHD1.tmp\toc.xsl'?>
    - <assistance namespace="EXCEL" UseOnlineContent="1">

    </subcollections>

    Also, no "Wizards" like the chart wizard appear in the tool bar.
    Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a relative newbie.

    Hi Jim Deck,

    Excel is trying to provide help using online connection..
    if you have issue with charts as well, I would recommend you to get your Excel re-installed.. thanks.

    This looks like a repair or re-install will solve your problem

    Thanks for the suggestions - I tried "Repair" but it did not resolve the problem. I'll try a Reload when I have a bit more time. BTW, I'm using Firefox as my browser - could that be the problem? I'll report back after my reload attempt.

    OK, I did a reload and an update - the problem still persists. I tried making Internet Explorer my default browser but that did not help either. I'm open to suggestions
