The Help files included with Microsoft Office are useful for
learning the syntax for specific Visual Basic for Applications methods or
properties. To display the context-sensitive Help file for a particular Visual
Basic command, type the command on a module sheet, and then press F1. This
provides the syntax, a description, and an example of how the command is used.
If you selected Typical when you installed Office 97, you need to
run Setup again to install the Help files associated with Visual Basic for
Applications for the programs you will be working with.
