Abstract

The present invention discloses a system, method and computer program for providing on-line help information in an office application comprising one or a plurality of objects, said on-line help information (624, 642, 643) being dependent on the content (504) of a selected object (503). The method comprises the steps of: detecting (402) an on-line help command as a result of a user action; identifying a selected object (503); determining (403) if the selected object (503) comprises a user entry field; if the selected object (503) comprises a user entry field: identifying the content (504) of said user entry field; parsing (405) the content (504) of the user entry field to identify if any predefined keyword (301) is present, a keyword (302) being characterized by a character string (302); for each predefined keyword (301) identified in the content (504) of the user entry field: identifying (407) a predefined help information (303), if any, associated with the identified keyword (301), said help information specifying one or a plurality of parameters associated with said keyword; and one or plurality of formats and rules related to said one or plurality of parameters; parsing (408) the content (504) of the user entry field to identify the one or plurality of parameters specified in said predefined help information (303); verifying (410) that formats of the one of plurality of parameters within the user entry field satisfy formats specified in the predefined help information (303); verifying (409) that the one or plurality of parameters within the user entry field satisfy the rules specified in the predefined help information (303); if the content (504) of the user entry field does not satisfy a format or a rule specified in the help information of a predefined keyword identified in the content of the user entry field: correcting (409, 410) the content of the user entry field according to the one or plurality of formats and rules specified in the help information (303).
