How Help Topics Are Organized
Most topics in this Help system have three tabs above the right pane of the Help window. The tabs display
different types of information.
Concept tab.
Describes a feature or function. When you click the Concept tab, the Help Contents list in the
left pane of the Help window expands and highlights the current topic. The Contents tab displays the structure
of the Help on that topic. You can easily display nearby topics by clicking them in the list.
Procedure tab.
Provides step-by-step instructions for common procedures related to the current topic. After
displaying a procedure, you can click the Procedure tab to redisplay the current list of procedures.
Quick Reference tab.
Lists reference information related to the current topic.
When you click a different tab, the topic remains the same. Only the type of information displayed
concept,
procedures, or quick reference links
is different.
Concept Tab Organization
In a Concept tab, there are two types of information that may be displayed:
navigation text
and
destination text
.
Navigation text displays links with short descriptions. The purpose of navigation text is to guide you step-by-step
to the information that you need. The links on navigation pages lead to additional navigation pages deeper in
the Help structure until you come to a destination page. Each link is designed to provide you with more detailed
information.
Procedure Tab and Quick Reference Tab Organization
As you navigate deeper into the Help structure on the Contents tab, the corresponding information on the
Procedure tab and on the Quick Reference tab becomes more specific, and the number of entries displayed on
each of these two tabs decreases.
Print Help Topics
The quickest way to print the current topic is to right-click within the topic and click Print.
The Print button on the Help toolbar provides these print options:
Print the selected topic (recommended)
Print the selected heading and all subtopics
