2. Using Microsoft's Office Web Site

You'll find the main Web site that supports Microsoft office products at http://office.microsoft.com. The home page is slick—and about as helpful as a magazine ad. You need to dig deeper to get to the helpful features. To zero in on some more useful articles and links, click the Products tab at the top of the page. Along the left side of the screen, you'll see links to specific Office products; click the one you're interested in.

Once you're on the Microsoft page dedicated to the application you need help with, you can focus in on just the 2007 version by selecting it from the list of versions displayed on the left-hand side of the screen under "Help and How-to." After you click on the 2007 version, you'll see a page with all kinds of information, where you can read an overview of changes to the program, watch a demo, and of course purchase the program, among other options. Figure B-6 shows the page dedicated to Word 2007.
