Access 2016 Help (User manual)

I have Access 2016.  The other day I started to use it and found a help system, by chance it seems.  Today I can't find that help library.  I can find the video tutorials easily enough, but I want a straightforward, old-fashioned text version.  I'm afraid I find the American accents of the tutors painful to listen to, and the constant movement doesn't help my concentration. 

In the absence of an 'official' (F1 key) help system, is there another tucked away somewhere?  At least until my Amazon order of a book on Access 2016 arrives later this week.

    There is a new feature for 2016. Similar to the Cortana search on Win 10 where you can type in some keywords into a box above the ribbon to get help.

    The old F1 help system doesn't work as well as it did in 2003. But on the other hand, almost nothing in Access has changed appreciably since 2010.

    I wish I could say yes but alas no, you will need to wait for your Amazon order.    If I am wrong I hope someone corrects me!
