The Help menu provides access to the online help, which basically contains the same content as this book. The help is also context-sensitive, which can be accessed in several ways:

  • Click the Help button (question mark icon), then click on the tool button, menu item, tab, or palette in question.
  • Place the cursor over a button, menu item, or palette, or highlight a menu item, and press F1.
  • Press F1 while using a tool or window.
  • Press the Help button on a window.

To see a tool tip for an icon, hold the cursor over the button for a second or two. The tool tip will appear, showing the name of the tool.
