Prints the current Help page.
If the amount of text available in the window is longer than what can display on the Help screen, a scroll
bar will appear to the right of the text. You can scroll through the text by clicking the buttons at the top
and bottom of the scroll bar. Or, if your mouse has a wheel, click anywhere within the text and spin the
wheel on your mouse to scroll up or down.
Tip You’ll learn more about using scroll bars in Chapter 2.
The Help index, which appears when you click the Index button near the top of the page, displays an
index to the Help system, similar to the index at the back of a book. You can scroll through the index
using the scroll bar at its right edge. Optionally, click in the text box below Type in the keyword to
find and start typing some word that best describes the information you’re looking for. As you type,
you’ll automatically be taken to the part of the index that matches what you have typed so far. If you
locate an index entry that matches what you’re looking for, click it. Then click the Display button below
the index. If several topics are available, a Topics Found dialog box displays. Click whichever topic in
that dialog box best describes what you’re looking for, and then click the Display button.
Figure 1-12 shows an example where I searched for the word volume. When I got to that section of the
index, I chose adjusting speaker volume to display the help you see in the right pane.

Whether you use Search or the Help index to get help on specific topics is entirely up to you. I do
recommend trying Search first, however, as it’s easier and often produces better results. If you can’t find
what you’re looking for using Search, then try the Help index.
