Today we’ll look at the many ways you can get Help for CRM for Outlook so that you can get the most out of the application.
You can of course access Help by clicking the Help button on the CRM for Outlook ribbon, but in addition, contextualized Help for a specific dialog box, window, or error message is always a click away. You can access this contextualized Help by clicking:
