Word and each Microsoft Office application provides the ability to quickly obtain help (help) about all elements of the working window. For help, you can use Help (F1). When you press a key F1 the window shown in Figure 7.8 will appear on the screen, in which you can enter your question or select a topic from the list (Table of Contents) to get a list of questions on this topic.

When searching for help, it is necessary to take into account the location of the search (Figure 7.9). For example, if the computer is connected to a local network, then the default search is performed on the Internet. But if the local network does not have access to the Internet, then the search will take a long time and will not give a result. In this situation, you need to interrupt the search, specify the search location Offline Help and start searching again. As a result of the search, a list of links to help articles will appear (Figure 7.9).

When you open the Help window, the main document window is reduced in size and the rest of the screen is occupied by the Help window. When you close Help, the document window returns to its original size. In the help text within the called topic, hyperlinks- underlined and highlighted in color individual words or phrases in the text. When placed on a hyperlink, the cursor takes the form of an "index finger". You can jump to the text of a hyperlink with a single click of the left mouse button. To access any other topic, click on the button Show on the toolbar at the top of the help window. Then we get access to Content help. To return everything to its original state, just click again on the same button, but now it is already called Hide.

When searching for a specific help topic, you can use Question Master, which will help localize the search, and context menu, invoked by the right mouse button.
