There are many ways of locating help while using Microsoft Excel. The Office Assistant, who may appear the first time you open excel, can also be called on screen with this Microsoft Excel help button. The Office Assistant is an animated figure on screen. I've chosen a cat as my Office Assistant. But using the options button, you can change the kind of Office Assistant you have. On the gallery tab, you can use the back and next buttons to scroll through each of the Office Assistants there are to choose from. Clippit is the Office Assistant that appears by default. So I'll change my assistant to look like the paper clip. Clicking ok will make that change on the computer and as you can see, Clippit is now a paper clip. To bring the bubble back and ask him a question, simply click once on the animated character. In the white box type your question. For instance, if we're ready to print this document and we're not sure how to go about doing so, we can phrase the question just as we would ask another person. How do I print? Then either hit your enter key or click the search button. The Office Assistant will then locate topics pertaining to your question. There's a topic that gives us an overview of what to do before you print. So I'll select that one first. Once you've selected a topic, the help screen will open which give you more specific instructions. The help screen opens on the left side of the screen leaving your workbook open on the right. Some topics display a graphic, and in order to call up the instructions you must first click on the graphic. In this help screen there are several steps for what to do before you print. To get to a specific step, simply click on it on the left side of the screen and the instructions appear to the right. Anytime you're looking through help and see blue underlined text, you can click on that text to get a clear explanation. Make sure that your read the entire contents of these help screens as sometimes they list additional resources or help topics at the bottom. As top of all help screens there are buttons for expanding and moving back and forth through the help. First we'll expand this help screen with the show button - this allows us to search for topics in different ways. First we'll see a table of contents. There's a whole chapter here on printing and if I click the plus sign to expand it, I can get to topics which will have a question mark icon or other sub chapters which are represented with books and plus signs. If I need to learn how to change the print area I can expand the chapter on that and get to yet more topics and chapters. Like a table of contents in a book, you peruse through this list for a specific chapter and topic. If I'd like to know how to print the active sheets, I can select that topic from the list and the right side of the screen will update to give me all the instructions I need. Another feature for looking for help is called the answer wizard. This is very similar to the Office Assistant in that you type a question - this time I'll ask "how do I close a workbook?". And the answer wizard attempts to locate a topic that meets your criteria. Close a workbook is what I was looking for and when I select it, the instructions appear on the right. Lastly there is an index here, which allows you to search for a specific keyword. If I type the word print, the middle list jumps to the section on printing. To hide this section of the screen I'll click on this first button again. At this point I've perused through many different help topics, and I can use this back button to go back sequentially through the topics I've already looked at. Once I've gone back through several, I can then use the forward button to move forward through them again. If you'd like to print out a hard copy of the topic, there's a print button and also an options button which lists all of the other options we've gotten to through these other buttons. When you've finished with the help topic, simply click on the X in the top right corner of that screen - help will disappear and your worksheet will come back into full view. If you'd like to take the Office Assistant off screen, simply right click on his picture, and on the shortcut menu select hide. The Office Assistant will disappear. Some other forms of help can be found in the help menu. You can show the Office Assistant again or bring him back on screen using Excel help. Another feature is called What's this? When I select this a question mark appears next to my pointer. If I am curious about buttons on the toolbar view, I can now click on them to get a good description of that button. This button is used to cut and would remove a selection from the active document and place it on the clip board. When you've finished reading the description click anywhere on screen and it will disappear. Notice that the question mark has also disappeared from my arrow. If I'd like to get help with a different button, you have to go back to the help menu and select what's this again. Click on a different button to get a different description. Other help available is on the web, and help for Lotus 1,2,3 users, and a detect and repair screen. Most of the help that you're going to look for will be found within the Office Assistant. fferent description.
