A drop-down list box is not the same as a combo box. A list box allows only selection
of the listed items; a combo box also allows you to type in text.
Although this description of dialog box controls is useful, it omits mention of radio
buttons, which appear in many dialogs. I was also surprised by the reference to
"filling out" dialog boxes, as I would never use that term to describe the way most
dialog boxes are used; usually you are "making selections" or "choosing settings" or
just "using" the box.

Text in this paragraph is duplicated.
Moreover, it is incorrect. Figure 1-25 shows the results of a search of Offline Help.
The first hit is "Find and replace special South Asian characters." This is a frequent
problem with searches both online and offline, but in this case it is *not* the result
of using online Help as implied.

Add this note to step 6:
Clicking and dragging a table could cause it to become wrapped,
resulting in incompatibility with earlier versions of Word. To
avoid this, move the table while in Normal view to keep it from
being wrapped.
