I believe the modest built in help and having to go on line to receive any kind
of substantial help is another way for MS to limit casual copying.  If for
example, your copy of Office 2007 is not genuine or has not been activated, you
receive no help.  Which I find a bit ridiculous anyway since the licensing of
Office 2007 is very generous compared to XP or Vista.  MS claims (and may be
correct) Office is pirated or casually copied more often than their operating
systems.  That's why we now have to live with Office Genuine Advantage.

Regards.
