Creating help topic favorites

[Benny]

There should be an "Add to Favorites" and "Organize Favorites" feature for
the "Help" menu for the entire Microsoft Office suite (like Internet Explorer
has). When doing a search within Microsoft Office Online, Offline Help,
Research, etc. a feature should be available to add a help topic as a
"Favorite" in order to reference again a searched help topic. Currently,
there is only Auto Tile, Back, Forward and Print features when a help topic
is selected and displayed.

Agreed. It would be great to have a feature similar to placing a bookmark in
a book you are reading to mark the page.

Wait a minute; I seem to recall this *was* an available feature at one time
- back when Help had more functionality than search and perhaps a TOC.

Btw, until they bring back this feature (hopefully) you can create your own
list of favorite Help topics by copy/pasting the URL. Additional information
and specific instructions on how to accomplish this can be found in this
article under the topic: "Need to Quickly Reference a Help Page?"
