I agree that there's no point blaming people. The only reason for making a 
fuss is to persuade CG to do something about the help system. But they don't 
seem to be listening.

I have had D2007 since last October and nothing in the way of updates has 
done anything to improve its help. It doesn't really matter whether or not 
the Help has updated -- since it is still unusable. If it is has been 
improved, the changes are not evident to me or anyone else who uses D2007 on 
a day to day basis.
