SUMMARY

Context-sensitive help is available for commands added to the Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0 tool bar. The contents of the help varies depending on the nature of the item added to the tool bar.

MORE INFORMATION

To access the Context-Sensitive Help for the tool bar, press SHIFT+F1, and choose the tool bar icon that you want help with. Pressing SHIFT+F1 causes the mouse cursor become a Help Pointer (an arrow and question mark together). If you choose an added tool bar item that is a built-in Word for Windows command, the help screen displays the topic associated with that built-in command. If the tool bar item chosen is a user-defined macro, the help screen displays a generic help topic describing the purpose and function of user-defined macros.

Specific information about a tool bar item displays on the status bar if you click and holding down the left mouse button on the tool bar item. In the case of user-defined macros, the text on the status bar corresponds to the macro's description.
