SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, you can access Help in three ways: by choosing the Help menu, by pressing the F1 key, or by pressing the SHIFT+F1 key combination. F1 and SHIFT+F1 provide context-sensitive help. The differences between these two methods are as follows:

  Method    Result --   --

F1        Highlight any menu, menu command, or area on the screen and Press F1. Help for that item is brought up. This method works even for gray unavailable menu items.

SHIFT+F1  Press SHIFT+F1. A question mark (?) replaces the mouse pointer. Click a specific item for help. This method does not work on unavailable menu items. Additional query words: 1.x 2.0 winword2 word6 winword 6.0
