However, why can't we find the answer in HELP.
Well, I do not work for Microsoft.
Word 2007 Help is not good in many of the areas in which I have a
particular interest. I do not know what drives MS's Help policy, but I
would guess that some considerations are
a. cost
b. features they tried to replace several versions ago, such as
"old-style Word frames" are not first in the queue for proper documentation
c. statistics on usage "out there" probably play a major part in what
gets documentation attention.
That said, I don't really understand why they can't bring forward the
old documentation. Also, being a support-type person, I take the view
that it's actually the least-used and oldest features that need the best
documentation (because their community of users is diminishing and
therefore less able to help). But they seem to start almost from scratch
with each new version of Office. Perhaps they always set out with good
intentions, but end up being overwhelmed by the scale of the task.
Also.. the link in the email sent to notify of your reply does not work.
That's something to do with whatever web interface you are using to
access these newsgroups.
