Help Is on the Way

You can get online help with Excel 2007 anytime that you need it while using

the program. Simply click the Help button with the question mark icon on the

right side of the program window opposite the tabs on the Ribbon or press

F1 to open a separate Excel Help window (see Figure 1-9).

When the Help window first opens, Excel attempts to use your Internet con-

nection to update its topics. The opening Help window contains a bunch of

links that you can click to get information on what’s new in the program to

quizzes that test your knowledge of Excel.

To get help with a particular command or function, use the Search text box

at the top of the Excel Help window. Type keywords or a phrase describing

your topic (such as “print preview” or “printing worksheets”) in this text

box and then press Enter or click the Search button. The Excel Help window

then presents a list of links to related help topics that you can click to display

their information.
