RE: The help for Office should be >>local<<, not always going out

Hi Bartleby, Thanks for your comments, for Office 2007 Help we added a
search scope dropdown to help narrow your search to a particular
context. (It’s the dropdown arrow to the right of the Search button on the
2007 Help toolbar). Useful if you just want Client or Developer Help only,
without having to view Templates and Training resources in the search
results. Another method to help scope results is 'dialog help'. With an
Office dialog open, press the F1 key and you'll get help specific to the
dialog you currently have open.

Thanks,
John
