Hello Steve,
You'll need to give more information for people to help you.
1) Is this the first time you installed R? Or was it a working R version
that suddenly started having this problem?
2) Did you try uninstalling this version, downloading a new version,
installing it - and seeing what happens?
3) Do you have an office firewall ? (what type?)
In the installation process, you can set the type of help file you get.
maybe that would resolve your issue (although I have a feeling you need to
reinstall R and it would work - it shouldn't need internet for help).
Best,
Tal
