Yes - pretty sure the Help I've got with Office 2007 on W7 is offline and doesn't need an internet connection.

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.

Hmmmmmmmm... I expected to see "Documentation", but it's not in the list.

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? -- Usenet is a public web-searchable archive of useful tutorials & opinions.
