So let's hear some suggestions. I assume everyone will understand which
one is meant when they read the term "Offline Help" in isolation. If you
disagree, please also suggest a different term for that.

I have been following this discussion and the only worry I have is that the doc team is not included on it. IMO, Jean should be aware of this discussion as the acronyms and any potential changes may have an effect on the various documentation terminology that is being used in our docs.

It would be nice if any changes were coordinated with all affected groups.

From my point of view OLH (Online Help), and, from a vernacular point of view for most users, would mean that once you choose that particular link/menu item, that you would be sent "online" on the internet for the help files. The OLH menu link, when viewed in context in any particular software package, usually means to a user that she/he will be taken to help files for that particular software available on the internet.

IMO, if we would want to make it clearer that the help files are NOT online, then another name/acronym should be created to properly describe the menu choice. Making as short, descriptive, obvious and as literal as possible, IMO, should be our primary goal; this will ensure that all competency levels of users (whether newbies or knowledgeable users) are clear as to the menu choice they are making. Perhaps just labelling "Help Documents" would be sufficient enough. The fact that there is no "online" will be obvious enough that the user is not being sent online for help docs and that the local files are always accessible to the user.

Cheers,

Marc
