Datasheet

If you don’t see the help you want, type a search term in the Type Words to
Search For field and click Search. For example, if you want to learn more
about the Vista differences for Visio, type
Vista and click Search. Help dis-
plays all of the entries associated with Vista in the right pane.
Sometimes Help returns too much information. You can limit the scope of a
search by clicking the down arrow next to the Search button. The context
menu contains a list of places that you can search. For example, you might
choose to search just the Visio Templates, rather than All Visio (the default).
You may not have any search terms in mind when you begin your search.
Perhaps you’re just looking to see what Visio offers. In this case, you can use
the Table of Contents list in the left pane of the Help window. Click a book
icon to open that particular topic. You can drill down through the topics to
find the information you need.
Don’t forget ToolTips
Like most Windows programs, Visio also uses ToolTips. When you point to a
button on a toolbar and
hover over it (pause without clicking), a tip pops up
to tell you the name of the button. This is especially helpful when you’re
learning Visio.
Visio expanded the concept of ToolTips to its stencils. When you hover over
a stencil shape, a tip pops up and gives the name of the shape and a descrip-
tion, as shown in Figure 1-8.
If you don’t want to view ToolTips or stencil tips, choose Tools
➪Options, and
then click the View tab. Click to remove the check mark from Toolbar
ScreenTips and Other ScreenTips, and then click OK.
