Making effective use of the Help System

 

Windows NT Help is located on the Start menu.

Single-click the left mouse button on Help, and an option box will appear.                        

Under Contents, double-click the left mouse button on any of the book icons to open them, then click on a question mark to view the topic. Your query answer will be displayed on the right hand side.

The Help window will stay on top of the other applications you have open so that you can refer to it as you work.

Remember:      You can move the Help window by dragging it around the desktop so that you can refer to it whilst you work and can still see what you are doing.

Click on Help again and click on the Index tab.

This sort of dialogue box can be used in two ways.  Either type a subject in the box at the top, and then choose the option you want when the Topics Found box appears, or use the scroll bars to find the topic you want .

Again clicking on the Display button will either display the Help file associated with that subject or display a list of topics.

The Find option works in a similar way, but enables you to refine your search more finely.
