I found that Office 2010 does not contain normal help system. For example, being in OneNote 2010 I am unable to find how to enter mathematical formulas and which latext codes are supported. Neither help request brought result.

So, the question is: should it work at all?

The online help that Office 2010 has does have a table of contents. Microsoft went to the new help system with the 2007-2008 product line. The old help files are formats not used by Microsoft. – Ramhound May 2 '12 at 12:15
So, how would you learn from new help system, that you can enter ^ to make upper index and _ to make lower when entering math? – Suzan Cioc May 2 '12 at 16:06

The help dialog in MS Office is mostly based around searching (see that searchbox?) now, and it usually works well.

If you want to view supported ... LaTeX codes ... click File > Options, go to Proofing and then AutoCorrect Options. They're listed in the Math AutoCorrect tab.

There's also a partial list here

So, no latex is supported in fact? Only symbol entities? How would I know, that underscore codes lower index and caret codes upper one? – Suzan Cioc May 2 '12 at 16:05
