Displaying Help as a toolbar in Word

Here is an innovative way to provide users with access to documentation: a small (622KB) add-in that adds a "Get Started" tab to the Ribbon in Word 2007. The tab is a set of redirects to Word 2007 Help topics, demos, animated guides and support resources on Microsoft's Office Online Web site. There are also "Getting Started" tabs for Excel 2007 & PowerPoint 2007.
