above the left pane give you several ways for finding the topics you want to
view. The right pane displays the topics you select.
To display topics in Help
■ In the InfoCenter box, click the Help button.
How Help Topics Are Organized
Most topics in this Help system have three tabs above the right pane of the
Help window. The tabs display different types of information.
■ Concept tab. Describes a feature or function. When you click the
Concept tab, the Help Contents list in the left pane of the Help window
expands and highlights the current topic. The Contents tab displays the
structure of the Help on that topic. You can easily display nearby topics
by clicking them in the list.
■ Procedure tab. Provides step-by-step instructions for common procedures
related to the current topic. After displaying a procedure, you can click the
Procedure tab to redisplay the current list of procedures.
■ Quick Reference tab. Lists reference information related to the current
topic.
When you click a different tab, the topic remains the same. Only the type of
information displayed—concept, procedures, or quick reference links—is
different.
Search in Help
Use the Help Search tab to find relevant topics based on keywords that you
enter.
The basic search rules are as follows:
■ Type your keywords in uppercase or lowercase characters; searches are not
case-sensitive.
■ Search for any combination of letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
■ Do not use punctuation marks such as a period, colon, semicolon, comma,
hyphen, and single quotation marks; they are ignored during a search.
■ Group the elements of your search using double quotation marks or
parentheses to set each element apart.
