Navigating the help system

  The Contents pane (icon: high-level topic) on the left side of the help window displays topics titles in a table of contents or navigation tree structure.  Click topic titles to display content in the pane on the right.
Use the Back (icon: back arrow) and Forward (icon: back arrow) buttons to navigate within the history of viewed topics.
To return to the table of contents after running a search, click the Contents tab (icon: high-level topic)  at the bottom of the pane.

Synchronizing the table of contents
When you follow a link within a topic in the pane on the right, the navigation tree does not automatically change to display and highlight the new topic. To see where the new topic fits in the navigation tree and synchronize the two views, click the Refresh button (icon: Refresh function) or the Show in Table of Contents (icon: Show in table of contents) button.  The topic title for the currently displayed topic will be highlighted in the navigation tree.
