What is the BEST way to find out what version of Office you're using?

  3. Click Help/About

  4. Look into the Help files under Version
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In most Office applications, clicking Help > About (or File > Account > About in newer versions) displays version information including the version number, service pack, and build details. This is the most reliable and direct method. Watching the splash screen (option A) is fleeting and unreliable. Checking the manual (option B) may not match the installed version. Option D describes searching for version in help files, which is indirect compared to the About dialog.
