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. The left 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 right pane.
