Default Word 2007 Find & Replace: Where is it documented?

Yes, Terry. I do have Help set up to use Content from Office On Line. I also
changed to Help On My Computer to see if I could get help on Match Prefix,
Match Suffix.

Are you set up with an always on Internet connection? Have you got Help
setup to use the 'Content from Office On Line'?

Thanks, Jay. After I posted my question, I clicked around a bit and found
that there are a number of features in Word 2007 that don't have context
sensitive help. Even worse, I couldn't find anything when I searched on
"match prefix", etc.

Charles, that would generally be good advice, except that the Help topic
doesn't
explain the specific settings that Pat asked about.

This is one of those cases where -- eventually -- the Office Online
offerings
will cover more than the in-the-box help does. It isn't there yet.

Pat, the best detailed explanations for all features of Word are found
by
pressing the F1 (Help) key on your keyboard. In this instance, when the
Word
Help dialog box opens, search on (what else) "Find and replace" (without
the
quotes). The F1 key has never broken anything!

Word 2007's Find and Replace dialogs have checkboxes for match prefix
and
match suffix. I can't find anything that shows how these settings
work.
Can anyone recommend reference materials that provide detailed
explanations for this and other new features in Word?
