Help Topics

Menu	Help > Help Topics
Tool
Key	<F1>

Display the help for the application. Help displays in the default web browser of the computer.

In addition to this command, help can be launched by pressing the <F1> key or clicking the Help button in a dialog box. Doing this will display the help content for the current process rather than the home page of the help.

• Offline help is loaded from a set of local files included with the installation.

The Help setting in Tools > Options > Files and Folders > Miscellaneous can be used to manually control whether to use online help or offline help. Online help is selected by default because this will always be the most up-to-date content available. If the computer does not have internet access when the application is started, launching the help will cause the application to automatically switch to offline help for the remainder of the session. This is a temporary switch; the next time the application is started and the help is launched, the application will check for an internet connection.

If the internet connection is lost after starting the application, the Help setting must be switched to Offline manually.

Selecting the Help Topics command will display the home page of the help for the application in a browser window.

The list will remain displayed until either the button is clicked again to hide the list, or another button is clicked. If the screen size is made smaller, this may also cause the list to be hidden.

	Print the current topic.
