Online Help

You can access the online help by opening the

Help -> Help topics

menu item, clicking on the

Help

icon in the Toolbar, or by pressing the F1 key. This displays the Online Help Table of

Contents, or a screen appropriate for the context.

Figure 11-13. Online Help System

Pressing F1 typically displays help relevant to the screen that has focus in your application. Double-

click a topic to open that topic in the right panel. You can also find relevant help topics by

searching the

Index

tab, or with a full-text search from the

tab. You can also add topics to

the

Favorites

tab with

Tools -> Add to Favorites

(or Ctrl+T).

At its top, the panel displaying topics has (left-to-right) a button to restore focus to the

Navigator

(table of contents/index/search) panel, forward and back arrows to let you scroll though several

topics, a print button, and dock/undock icons that let you combine/un-combine the

Navigator

and

Help Topic

windows.

NOTE:

Although index entries are frequent, they cannot comprehensively list every topic for which you may

need help. When you cannot find the index entry you want, use the Search tab to perform a full-text

search of the helpset. A similar feature exists for the Acrobat equivalent of the helpset, the manuals.

CAUTION:

Because of the flexibility of this software, help and manuals may describe features unavailable for your

system. This can be true either because you do not have permissions to access everything, or because

you do not have some options installed.
