Question Access Help (Deverloper Reference) style is screwed up.

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. Guess how helpful a Google search for "Access Help" has been?

The new Access 2010 help system (select problem code, hit F1), aside from being almost uselessly based on Bing, has become partly unreadable. Keywords in the text are 3 or 4 times the size of the surrounding text. Code examples can be even larger and will stretch off the right side of the pane without wrapping:banghead:.

I vaguely remember seeing something about editing the style file somewhere in the Access program folders, but it was only partly related.

First off, my suggestion (as with many MVP's and former MVP's) is to set Access to use OFFLINE help instead of ONLINE. OFFLINE help seems to be better than the online stuff.

I didn't know you could do that! or I would have done so ages ago. I've hated the stupid Bing interface since it first reared it's ugly head.

Please esplain. I can't find how in a quick look through the Access properties.
