|
<p>This section describes how to use the Help window (the entire window in
|
|
which this text and the Sidebar on the left are displayed).</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="contentsBox">In this section:
|
|
<ul>

<h2 id="finding_the_topic_you_want">Finding the Topic You Want</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you're viewing the Help window, click the tabs in the left frame to view
|
|
the Help contents in different ways:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Contents</strong> shows the list of main topics.<br/>
|
|
Click a topic to read about it. Double-click to see its subtopics.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Search</strong> lets you search the Help files.<br/>
|
|
Type a word or phrase and press Enter to see related topics. Then click
|
|
the topic you want to read about.<br/><br/>
|
|
If your search doesn't return any topics, try typing fewer words or a
|
|
different combination of words.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Index</strong> lists topics alphabetically.<br/>Click an index entry
|
|
to view information on that topic.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Glossary</strong> lists definitions alphabetically.<br/>Click
|
|
a glossary term to see its definition.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>To see information related to the Help topic you are reading, click
|
|
links in the Help window just as you would in a regular web page.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="retracing_your_steps">Retracing Your Steps</h2>
|
|
<p>To retrace your steps in Help, click the buttons near the top left corner of
|
|
the Help window:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="images/buttons.png" alt="" width="142" height="48"/></p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Click the Back button to move back through pages you have previously
|
|
visited. It works just like the Back button in the main &brandShortName;
|
|
window.</li>
|
|
<li>Click the Forward button to move forward through pages you have previously
|
|
visited. It works just like the Forward button in the main &brandShortName;
|
|
window.</li>
|
|
<li>Click the Home button to see the Help and Support Center, which includes
|
|
links to support options and web-based resources.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Alternatively, print the instructions you want to follow:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To print the whole page that's currently displayed in the Help window,
|
|
click the Print button near the top-right corner of the Help window:<br/>
|
|
|
|
<img src="images/print.png" alt="" width="34" height="45"/></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To print just a portion of the page, first click and drag to select the
|
|
area you want to print and then click the Print button.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="search_tips">Search Tips</h2>
|
|
<p>If you aren't finding what you want in your search, here are a few helpful tips:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Be sure that you are searching for something that relates to
|
|
&brandShortName;; this is not a general Internet search.</li>
|
|
<li>Try to broaden your search - don't be too specific; terms
|
|
could be worded differently than your search.</li>
|
|
<li>Avoid being too broad with your search: words like "Firebird"
|
|
and "Mozilla" could possibly return all of the pages in the help file.</li>
|
|
</ul>
