If your question is about a specific Office 2008 program, and not about the content of this book, your first recourse is the program’s Help system. This system is a combination of information that was stored on your computer when you installed Office 2008 for Mac (Offline Help) and, if your computer is connected to the Internet, the most up-to-date information available online from Microsoft (Online Help). You can find general or specific Help information in several ways:
You can display a ScreenTip containing a description of a toolbar button, or of a button, command, setting, or action in the Toolbox, by pointing to the item.
You can display the program’s Help system by using any of these methods:
In an operating system-related dialog box (for example, the Print dialog box), you can display Mac Help system information specific to that dialog box by clicking the Help button located in its lower-left corner.
If you don’t find the information you need in the program’s Help system, consult the Office 2008 for Mac Solution Center, which is part of the Microsoft Help and Support site located at:
From the home page of the site, point to Self Support Options (in the Support Options list in the left pane) and click Product Solution Centers. In the Office Products section of the Select A Product Solution Center page, click Office 2008 For Mac (or, if it’s not listed, start entering the product name in the Quick Product Finder box at the top of the page and then, in the list that appears, click the product you’re looking for help with).
Additional information is available from the Help and How-To section of the Mactopia site, which is located at:
