By topic | The Contents function takes you directly to the information you need. This function provides you with a complete list of the main topics in the online Help system. To open a book in the list, double-click the book. To choose a topic, click the topic name. When you click a topic in the list, the online Help system takes you directly to the relevant information.
By word or phrase | The Search function is a handy feature for finding a particular word or phrase across all topics in the online Help system. To access the Search function, click Search, and then enter and word or phrase that relates to the subject you want more information about. The Search function will then link the subject you've specified to the relevant topic(s). At this point, you can select the topic that's most likely to have the information you're looking for. This may be the quickest way to find the information you need.
By index | The online Index works like an index in a book, except it's faster! To look for an entry in the online Index, click Index, and then enter the word you're looking for into the text box that appears just below Index. As you type, matching entries will be highlighted. To see the corresponding information, click on the corresponding topic that appears.
