Office 2013 Professional offline help - how do I install it

Hi all:

I am using Office Professional 2013 and I need to install offline help.  I've searched the topic and no answers come up.

I travel a lot and the planes and places I go don't have easy access to the Internet.  In other words, online help WILL NOT work for me.

Where is offline help located or are there additional downloads?  I REALLY MISS distribution DVDs and being able to setup Office my way.

Thanks,

rp

    Are there any updates on this, Microsoft? I travel for work and couldn't believe when I was unable to use help on my 5 hour flights. The world is connected on average, for sure, but why can't we have an option to download offline help?

    Hi All,

    The Office Help is now online.

    Office 2013 installed by means of Click-to-Run will have no ability for Offline Help files, as these files have been removed to reduce the setup image for download and online installation.

    Hope this information is helpful.

    I just bought a new laptop and decided to get Office 2013 with it. I have no internet access at home, and was previously using Office 2003. I have just discovered that there is no offline help in Office 2013.

    My new laptop has 16 GB memory and 1 Terabyte hard drive. It is insanity in these times to remove offline help files from a product that will be used frequently offline.

    Your information and complete disregard for long-time well-paying customers is absolutely unhelpful, and insulting.

    may be too late, but...

    Not only too late, but too little -- that download is only the help for VBA (the macro language). There is still no offline general help for any of the Office 2013 programs.
