Doing a course have come to question asking about information box to do with
help. Questionis what are the 3 items lkisted in the information box that can
be identified here?
No sense to me.

It's a trick question, right? A search of Help in Excel 2007, 2003 and 2000
for "Information Box" gives null results.

There are message boxes, text boxes, list boxes, and boxes that are simply
boxes - but nothing formally known as an Information Box that I can find.

If we knew when/where you are supposed to see this information box, then we
might be able to give more assistance.

I'll take the first WAG at it and shoot at the information that you might
see in a Message Box: prompt, buttons and title. There are other 'invisible'
attributes such as associated help box and context, but those three are what
the user would see on screen when it was displayed, and each of those items
could be separately identified.

My second WAG - with regards to 'help' - but here I'm kind of stuck on the
specific "the" in "what are THE 3 items ..." since there can be a variety of
information listed in the information area displayed when you search for help
on a subject. Some, all or just a few may be available depending on the
subject you look for help on:
Title of the Help Topic
General discussion of the topic
'See Also' suggestions
Properties link
Methods link
Example link
the "was this helpful" response buttons ...
