The help contents is a hierarchy of all the help topics
arranged in a tree. You can expand the tree branches to show individual
topics that are displayed with a single mouse click.
Before you begin
You can access the help contents in two ways:
- From the dynamic Help view by clicking the All Topics link.
- This selection displays the help contents tree in the dynamic
Help view. You can expand the branches to find the information you
require, and then click the topic to display the help. However, the
dynamic Help view is more suited for displaying context help, which
is only an overview, but when displaying detailed help topics you
probably need to increase the size of the view or make extensive use
of the view scroll bars. As an alternative, you can display the contents
in a new window by placing your mouse cursor anywhere in the view,
right-clicking, and clicking Open in Help Contents.
- From the main workbench menu, click Help > Help Contents
- This selection opens a new window with two panes. One pane displays
the help contents tree. You can expand the branches to find the information
you require, and then click the text. The help topic that you select
is displayed in the other pane.
