Using the Contents and Index
Tabs
The left pane of the Help browser is the display
area for most of the Help system’s main navigation
tools, including the Contents and Index tabs.
Contents Tab
The Contents tab displays a complete hierarchical
list of all topics in the Help system. This lets you
quickly see the overall organization of the Help
system.
You can expand and collapse the contents to view
the logical organization of the Help system, and
you can move to any topic by clicking its entry in
the Contents.
When you move to a new topic, the contents ex-
pands to the level of that topic and highlights the
topic. This feature, like the hierarchy links at the
top of each topic, lets you see exactly where the
current topic is positioned within the logical orga-
nization of the Help system.
To display a topic from the contents:
 Click the Contents tab, and then click a topic’s
entry in the contents.
To expand or close a section in the contents:
 Click the Contents tab, and then click a book
icon to the left of a link.
Index Tab
The Index provides an alphabetized list of entries
similar to the index of a printed book.
If Java is enabled in your browser, the Index dis-
plays as a dynamic index where the listing scrolls
as you type a word in the text box. If you do not
have Java enabled in your browser, or if your
browser does not support Java implementations, a
JavaScript version of the index displays, which lets
you scroll manually through the entries.
To find topics by using the Index tab:
1 Click the Index tab.
2 Click the first character of the topic in the
Numerics, Letters, Symbols list.
To view the topic associated with an index entry:
 Click the index entry.
