Using the Help System
Help Overview

There are several ways to get more information about the program's features and

functionality.

Tips and Info

There are three ways help is provided within the program.

• Pop-up Tutorials

When you perform some actions in the program, a pop-up Did you know . . .?

tutorial opens. These provide additional information for using that particular function.
If you do not want to see that specific pop-up tutorial again, select the Do Not

Show Again check box before you close it.

If you do not want to see any pop-up tutorials, click the Help button

on the

toolbar and then click Shut Off All Pop-Up Tutorials.

• ToolTips

When you point to a tool for a few seconds, a short label (ToolTip) describing the tool

displays on your screen. ToolTips also display in windows and dialog boxes when you

point to a button, icon, or other feature.

• Information Boxes

Several tabs contain information boxes. Information boxes provide descriptions

about the features and functions of the selected tab.

Help System

Click the Help button

on the toolbar to view the Help menu, and then click an item

to select it.
