help wizard displays answers that vanish
When I have a question and the help wizard displays answers in the right
column of my page-- how do I keep those instructions still displayed there while I try to fix the problem- (the minute I click on something else the instructions disappear, ie, they say "go to file, click on ..." -- there may be 7 steps, and I can only remember a few at a time-- then have to type in the question all over again (or take notes on my clay tablets) this is Word 2002 |

I'm looking at Word 2003, but I think this was the same in 2002...
When a Help windows opens (if it's the "Offline" help rather than the Office Online stuff that opens in an Internet browser), there should be a set of icons just below the title bar. The leftmost one, when the mouse hovers over it, shows a tooltip of "Auto Tile". When you click that icon, the Help window and the Word window will arrange themselves side by side. If that doesn't work, this will: Minimize all windows except Word and the Help window (or even the browser, if that's where the help appears). Right-click a blank area of the Windows task bar at the bottom of your screen. In the popup menu, choose "Tile Windows Vertically". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. answers3801 wrote: When I have a question and the help wizard displays answers in the right column of my page-- how do I keep those instructions still displayed there while I try to fix the problem- (the minute I click on something else the instructions disappear, ie, they say "go to file, click on ..." -- there may be 7 steps, and I can only remember a few at a time-- then have to type in the question all over again (or take notes on my clay tablets) this is Word 2002 |

Thank you, Jay, that worked brilliantly.
