I am a user of Excel and Word 2007, and I am rather disappointed with the the
Help system. The "What's this?" option is gone, so there is no way to get a
quick description for new-feature tool buttons (or a refresher for older
ones). Also absent in many cases is contextual help, where I get help
relevant to the dialog box I'm in. Instead, Help often displays the general
help index for the entire program. Some features are missing in Help
altogether: in Word, Outline view, Document map, and a general discussion of
Field codes; in Excel, default templates for new blank workbooks and a
listing of workbook keyboard shortcuts were not found in Help.
I sure hope that Office 2007 will be furnished with updates that will
restore Help to what it once was. That would give users the image of Office
as the great product it really is. Thanks.
