Online Help
The manual Volume 1 and Volume 2 is complemented by an online help which is
integrated in the software. This online help is intended to provide you with detailed
support when using the software.
The help system is integrated in the software via a number of interfaces:
There are several menu commands which you can select in the Help menu:
The Contents command opens the index for the Help on STEP 7.
Using Help provides detailed instructions on using the online help.
The context-sensitive help offers information on the current context, for
example, an open dialog box or an active window. You can open the context-
sensitive help by clicking the "Help" button or by pressing F1.
The status bar offers another form of context-sensitive help. It displays a short
explanation for each menu command when the mouse pointer is positioned on
the menu command.
A brief explanation is also displayed for each icon in the toolbar when the
mouse pointer is positioned on the icon for a short time.
If you prefer to read the information from the online help in printed format, you can
print out individual help topics, books, or the entire online help.
This manual is an extract from the HTML-based Help on STEP 7. As the manual
and the online help share an almost identical structure, it is easy to switch between
the manual and the online help.
