Getting Help from Word

Microsoft designed Word 2007 to be the easiest version of Office ever. Yet, despite these improvements in Word 2007’s user interface, you may still need help in using one of the many Office programs once in a while. To help answer your questions, Word 2007 provides a Help system, which lets you browse through different help topics until you (hopefully) find the answer you need. There are two ways to use the Help system. One, you can browse through the various topics displayed until you find the answer you want. This can take time to search but can also show you related help that you might find useful.

A second way to use the Help system is to type a query such as Page margins or Font size. The Help system will then display all topics related to your query. This can be a fast way to search for help, but if you do not type the right terms that the Help system recognizes, this method may not find the exact help you need.
