Office 2010 : Search box in help is grayed out
Hi Guys,
In office 2010, for all the applications which come under office, the search box is grayed out in the Help option.
Steps tried:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Internet\
Note If you cannot find the
Internet
subkey, you must create it. To create the
Internet
subkey, click New on the Edit menu, click Key, and then type Internet.
Locate and then click the following value:
UseOnlineContent
Note If you cannot find the UseOnlineContent value, you must create it. To create the UseOnlineContent value, click New on the Edit menu, click DWORD Value, and then type UseOnlineContent.
Double-click the
UseOnlineContent
value.
In the Value data box, type the appropriate value. The following list contains the possible values:
0 - Never show Office Online content or entry points
1 - Use only offline content whenever available, for example, .chm Help files
2 - Use Office Online content whenever available
and also found this solution which states as:
The suggestion was User Configuration | Admin Templates | Classic Admin Templates | Microsoft Office 2010 | Disable Items In User Interface | Disable Commands under File tab | Help
However in gpedit there is no value called "Classic Admin templates".
None of the above steps seems to solve the problem. Have any of you guys come across this issue?
I am using a licensed copy of the tool and the version is 14.0.6112.5000(32 bit).
