Description MR Zenwiz 2017-12-29 06:33:08 UTC
I wanted to know how to change the background of a document to be an image on my computer.  I clicked on Help, and it said to click on Format -> Page and select the Background tab.

There is no Background tab on that page.

The correct tab is the Area tab, and that has 6 buttons, none of which (to a user) is clearly the one to set a background image (Bitmap - how is that anything a normal, non-techie user would recognize as a place to set the background image?).

At least if this was explained in the Help section, that would be a minimum, but if this is going to reach the millions of people who use MS Office, it has to be less cryptic to the overwhelming majority of folks who are not developers.

I wish I could say that this is the only one, but I have seen errors like this elsewhere.  I will report them as soon as I see another.

I agree there are partial outdated
some are wrong and others are correct and yes some name's like bitmap are confusing for the average user
