used. When you do not have an Internet connection, the local help
is used.

select a row in the table and click Up or Down to
move the connection in the list.
- Click Apply and OK to
save the changes.

If you enabled the local help and you have an
Internet connection, the help content is installed automatically when
you start the product.
