Remarks

Display the Customize dialog box by pointing to Toolbars on the View menu and clicking Customize. For menu bar and toolbar controls, display the menu bar or toolbar, and then right-click the control whose HelpFile property you want to set. For shortcut menu controls, select the Shortcut Menus check box on the Toolbars tab of the Customize dialog box, then find the shortcut menu control you want on the menu bar that's displayed and right-click the control. Click the Properties command. Enter the name of the Help file you want in the Help File box.
