Yes - pretty sure the Help I've got with Office 2007 on W7 is offline 
and doesn't need an internet connection. But there doesn't seem to be a 
compatible native Help viewer in W10.

This is interesting discussion between you and Ant, 
where, personally, I've never found _any_ documentation 
from Microsoft much help (it seems).

Nonetheless, I do have Office 2007 installed, so what 
I'll do it re-run the installer (although I have to put the 
C:\MSOCache back I think as I had removed it) to see if 
"Documentation" is an installation option.

Drat. I deleted the C:\MSOCache, where I only have a 400MB
older archive; but I can still re-run the installer.

Hi Ant,

I usually see you over in the Apple newsgroups... good to see you here.

I am faithfully trying to figure out why someone would care about
'updating' Office 2007, where I can only think of, offhand, two reasons,
neither of which is a worry for me (as a home user) but maybe for others?
1. security fixes
2. functionality improvements

As for functionality improvements, I asked long ago that basic question:
o What useful functionality is in the newer Microsoft Office that isn't already in the older MSOffice 2007 Pro?  
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/sKGer09EakA>

As for security improvements, I asked, just now, this related question:
o Do you use the native default Windows 10 Windows Defender as your sole security/av protection? 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/KFoFnBuoaag>

In my humble opinion, almost nothing improves appreciably over time,
whether that's a program like Super or CCleaner that starts out well and
then goes bad over time, or if it's the operating system itself:
o What can you do on Windows 10 that you can't do on Windows XP or Windows 7? 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/fJBY472ds3E>

Given it's likely not functionality, then it's perhaps security?
o But what security is in Office <latest> that's not in Office 2007 then?
