Context Sensitive Help

Help is always a click or keystroke away. While using a program and a problem or questions arises, remember you have two ways to immediately reach help topics pertinent to the part of the program you find yourself. You can click on the icon or you can press the F1 key.

Three Ways to Find a Solution

You have entered this Help System because you are looking for a solution to a problem, an answer to a question.

There are three ways to search for the answer to your question(s) equivalent to the three tabs below, and one "bonus" method.

1. Browse the Contents
2. Look through the Index
3. Search for a keyword

Browse the Contents

Browsing the contents is just like looking through the table of contents in a book to find a section that might be relevant to your problem or question. What you first see in the Help System is a "collapsed" view of the Contents of the Help System. It is collapsed because where you see the icon. The "+" sign means that there is more information in that "book."

To browse the Contents...

• Double click on the little book icon or the text beside it, or
• Single click on the "+" sign left of the little book icon.

Now you expose additional layers of information...

You can browse for topics that are relevant to your question.

Look Through the Index

The second method of finding relevant information is to look through the Index of the Help System. Click on the "Index" tab to show an image similar to the one below. Indexed terms are arranged alphabetically in the index. You can either sift through visually or type in a word related to your question. You can double click on an indexed term to bring up a page or pages relevant to the term.

Search for a Keyword

The third method of finding an answer in the Help System is to search for a keyword related to your problem or question. Click on the "Search" tab to bring up the search box. You can search for one or more words at a time. You can also search for an exact phrase such as "match play."

Search for one word

1. Type your one word in the box, such as "teams," and hit the Enter key or click "List Topics" button. All the topics that contain the word "teams" will be listed.
   
   
2. Look through to find the most relevant topic(s) and double click on it/them to see if your question is addressed.

Search for two (or more) words that appear on the same page
