You can use the scroll bar on the right side of
the list to view the different entries, or you can
begin typing keywords in the text box above the
list. As you type, the list of index entries
automatically advances to the entries that begin
with the letters you type.

When you see an index entry that seems to be related to the information you are
trying to find, double-click the index entry.

If there is only one topic in the Help associated with that index entry, that
topic appears in the display area on the right.

If there are many applicable topics, the

Topics Found

dialog box appears.

Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.

Search

The

Search

tab enables you to search the entire Help system for specific words,

such as "borderless print".

Tip

If any of the words you are entering are fairly common (such as

"print", in the "borderless print" example), you might want to place
quotation marks around the combination of words for which you are
searching. This limits your search so that the results are more relevant to
the information you need. Instead of returning all topics that contain either
the word "borderless" or the word "print", the search will only return topics
that contain the phrase "borderless print".

After entering your search criteria, click

List

Topics

to view all the Help topics that contain

the words or phrases you entered. The results
are listed in a three-column table. Each row
contains the topic

Title

, the

Location

in the Help

where the topic is contained, and the

Rank

,

assigned based on its relevance to your search
criteria.

By default, the results are sorted by

Rank

, so that the topic containing the most

instances of your search criteria is at the top of the list. You can also sort the
results by the topic's

Title

or

Location

, by clicking the table heading for that

column. To view the contents of a topic, double-click that row in the results table.
The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.

Display area
The display area on the right side of the Help window displays the Help topic you
select from one of the tabs on the left. Help topics include descriptive text, step-by-
step instructions, and illustrations, if applicable.

Topics often include links to other topics in the Help system where you can find
additional information. Sometimes a link automatically opens the new topic in the
display area. At other times, there might be more than one applicable topic. When
