This should be easy to answer if it exists. With the original Windows 95 help system, you could create "Bookmarks" in help. With the new Windows 98 HTML-based help system, I don't know how to do this.
Office 2000 also uses the newer HTML-based help system. If I find a topic which is particularly useful, how do I create a bookmark or shortcut to it?? I cannot find anything which allows me to create either a shortcut file or internal bookmark to topics in the newer help system.

That is terrible! Is Microsoft's new help system really that primitive??!! I knew that was a method of adding the URL but it's a major downgrade from the old help system. Does upgrading from IE 4 to IE 5.5 add any option in the help system so I can simply add the URL to my Favorites??
Thanks in Advance.
Sorry, the answer to the upgrade to 5.5 would give you exactly the same kind of web based help you are experiencing in Office 2000. You are quite welcome for the help.
If you are using office 2000 you may want to consider making a Web page using Word and FrontPage which contains the links to your most used pages. I have done that with several Web based help applications.

You can make use of the fact it is HTML based.
Once you have found the Office 2000 help page you are looking for. Using the mouse Right Click in the right hand pane. In the resulting box pick properties. Using the mouse highlight the address: (URL) making sure you have it all (it sometimes covers several lines). Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-C to copy the address into the clipboard. Now open Internet Explorer and highlight the address in the address bar and using the keyboard shortcut CTRL-V paste the address you copied in place. Hit enter and the page should appear.
You can now use the Internet Explorer, Add to Favorites or Links options to create a shortcut to the page or pages you use frequently.
