## FormField.helpText property

Returns or sets the text that's displayed in a message box when the form field has the focus and the user presses F1.


```js
get helpText(): string
```

### Remarks

If the [FormField.ownHelp](../ownHelp/) property is set to ``true``, [FormField.helpText](./) specifies the text string value.
If [FormField.ownHelp](../ownHelp/) is set to ``false``, [FormField.helpText](./) specifies the name of an AutoText entry that contains help
text for the form field.

Microsoft Word allows strings with at most 255 characters.
