Hi Scan guys,
hoping you could help me. Ive bought a copy of MS Office 2007 Home & Student (retail) from a high street shop. It doesnt have a paper manual with it - is this normal? I tried asking Microsoft and they didnt know :rolleyes:
thanks guys :)
Its normal, in fact I'm hard pressed to remember when any software I've bought had anything like a substantial manual other than a thin 'get you started' booklet.
However, the built-in (and online) Office 2007 help is very detailed and actually pretty good
I haven't seen printed manuals with any software for years.
Online help is much better, at least it is searchable.
Mediator 8 Pro comes with a rather meaty printed manual, but yeah, other than a leaflet is about all I've seen recently.
Who remembers the huge book you recieved when you bought a new pc(486) with windows installed. "Microsoft Windows for Workgroups & MS-DOS 6.2". I still have a copy.
Now thats what you call a manual.
Yeah, I got that, along with a load of other stuff I can't get rid of at car boot sales:)Quote:

At least it felt like you were getting your moneys worth.:)
Pah! Lightweights! Somewhere around my office I have a set of treeware for SCO OpenServer v5; about a dozen volumes, I think, and that's before I get on to the rainforest annihilation zone that was our last package for Informix... :D
