 Open help file properties
If the program help (opened with F1) does not show text the reason is a strange security behaviour of Microsoft Windows that also blocks help file text files (containing only text, pictures, links) that were downloaded together with the program (usually .zip). In the file properties page General will contain a security warning and with button "Unblock" the needless blocking can be unblocked and then the help text should show the missing text.
