This type of documentation consists of written documents and programming codes. They provide users
with the useful information about the software that enables users to quickly learn steps or procedures to
use the software. These documents are made available as online help, so that the users can access it
easily. They also have high level macros which are programs that assist the users to perform a specific
task. These macros work along with the online help system. This enables the user to quickly search and
get the required information.
While installing Microsoft Office Suite, the wizard that appears will help you to
install the suite. It provides the information about the activity that you need to
perform at every instance of the installation process. Therefore, the entire

assists users with the help of an interactive animated character that interfaces
with the Office help content.
