Q. How can I adjust the Help window? Can I make it go away or move it to the other side of the screen?

A. You can shrink the Help window so that it takes up less room on your screen by clicking the Shrink Help button on the Help window. To return the Help window, click the Shrink Help button again.

When you shrink the Help window, it still occupies a small amount of room on the far right side of the screen. To make it go away entirely, click Hide Help on the Help menu. You can return the Help window by clicking Show Help on the Help menu. It is not possible to move the Help window to the left or other location on the screen; it always displays either on the right, shrunken, or hidden.
