Many programs’ help windows also offer an Index and Search option in the left pane. For example, you
can see tabs with those titles above the list of contents shown in Figure 3-2. Click the tab to look up
specific information within the program’s help.
Because the help usually appears in a window that’s separate from the program’s window, you can
move and size the windows to give you the best possible view of both. If the windows overlap, you can
click either window or its taskbar button to make it the active window. As discussed in Chapter 2, the
active window is always on the top of the stack and also is the only window capable of accepting
keyboard input.
You also can reduce the size of the help window by closing the Topics list. Click the Hide button in the
help window’s toolbar to hide the list. Click the Show button to reopen it. To close the help window, click
its Close (X) button, just as you’d close any other window.
