If your question is about Microsoft Office Visio 2003, and not about the content of this Microsoft Press book, your first recourse is the Visio Help system. This system is a combination of help tools and files stored on your computer when you installed Visio 2003 and, if your computer is connected to the Internet, help files available from Microsoft Office Online. When you have a question about using Visio, you can type it in the Type a question for help box at the right end of the Visio menu bar, and then press 
to display a list of Help topics from which you can select the one that most closely relates to your question.
