New in Excel XP (2002) is the Ask a Question box located on the far right hand side of the menu bar. Since the MS Office Assistant does not display by default, the Ask a Question box gives quick access to the help journals. It works similarly to the MS Office Assistant. Type in a key term or question and then, press enter. A list of possible topics will be displayed in a drop down below the Ask a Question box. Generally, you will see about 8 – 10 topics that best fit your question. The first 4 or 5 will be displayed with a “See More” selection at the bottom to display the next 4 or 5. The last choice is most likely to be None of the Above Search the Web. Choosing this selection will launch your browser and take you to the MS Knowledge base with possible choices. Click on the option that most closely matches the topic with which you need help. Excel will launch the help feature and take you directly to the topic you selected.
