If your computer is connected to the Internet while you are using the programs in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you already see the latest Help articles. If your computer is not connected to the Internet, you see the Help articles that were included on the 2007 Microsoft Office system CDs. If you can't connect to the Internet while you are using an Office program, you can now see the latest Help articles by downloading and installing updated Help files.

The updated Help files have new and revised articles for all of the 2007 Office release programs. These Help articles were created and revised in response to the feedback that we received from you on Microsoft Office Online and Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN).
