879583 2010-04-24 05:51:00 Hi guys, can someone please tell me how to switch on the "Help" function for Office 2010? i.e. enable it.

Thanks!:o

879584 2010-04-24 06:04:00 Maybe I should have added, this is the Beta version. :) WalOne (4202)
879585 2010-04-24 06:13:00 Dont know if it actually is working fully in the Beta - cant check, as I have just ripped it out and installed the RTM ( finished version) :)

But open a document - Press the F1 key

From MS:
F1 The standard help Function key still brings up the Microsoft Help and How-To within each product in the Office 2010 suites. This command can be easily added to the Quick Access Toolbar for quick reference.

879586 2010-04-24 06:17:00 Thanks Wainui, I still get a blank window, i.e. the function still has yet to be enabled. WalOne (4202)
879587 2010-04-24 06:21:00 just looked on another PC that has the beta, I clicked on the File Tab ( in word) and below, about third from the bottom is "help".

If its not working the install may be damaged, it is beta after all. may need a repair.

BTW- is this the 32 or 64 Bit version you have. I know 64 was giving problems in some areas.


the function still has yet to be enabled. That to me would indicate exactly as it says -- Not enabled yet by MS - I did do windows updates, so maybe the "patch" was included ?????

879588 2010-04-24 06:42:00 I think it's 32. I just tried your suggestion, but no fix to be had there - just an empty help window. Thanks for your help, I'll be off line for the evening now, but I'll check again in the morning (after Anzac service) to see if you or anybody else has a fix.

:thanks

879589 2010-04-24 20:59:00 try F1, it was working for me in the beta and also working find in the final release

I think you may have to be connected to the Internet, at least for the first time you invoke help

879590 2010-04-24 23:47:00 Thanks guys, but M$ isn't going to help at all (with internet connection or no) ...

What I am really trying to work out is, how to import the contents of Outlook 2003 into Outlook 2010. As it stands, I had to restore 2003 so I could access all my data, without which 2010 is practically useless until I manually transpose the 400 or so print records. Anybody?

879591 2010-04-25 00:12:00 In Outlook 2003 you use File > Export and Import > Export as *.pst and save it somwhere.

Uninstall Outlook 2003 as 2003 will not coexist with 2010.

Install 2010 and use file import to import the *.pst file you made earlier.

879592 2010-04-25 00:12:00 Open outlook( click next after each option is selected) - File>Import and Export>Export to a file>Personal Folder . pst> Scroll up to personal Folders, tick include sub folders> Click the browse button to put the backup somewhere easy to Locate (desktop)>

( just using 2007 here, 2010 about to do it, if it s much different I'll leyt you know) The to import> file> import and export>import from another file or program>personal Folder( . pst)> Browse to locate where you put it> import .

You may have to manually recreate the actual email account .
