Customizing the help system

This software provides interactive assistance to help you learn about the tools and complete tasks successfully. You can find most forms of assistance on the Help menu.
Dynamic help
Click the dialog box or view that you want to learn about, and press F1 or the question mark Question mark for contextual help. Below the help are dynamic search results that relate to your current context and settings.
Product help
Topics can help you understand how to use the product to complete your tasks. Topics also include links to related information. Click the tabs at the bottom of the navigation pane of the Help window.
Index Index tab: Type words in the type-ahead field to look them up in the index. To see the topic, click Display or click an index entry in the list.
Search Search tab: Type words in the Search field, with double quotation marks for exact searches, asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wild cards, or Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT). In some browsers, you can also narrow your search scope and save search lists.

  1. At the top of the Help window, click the Search scope link.
  2. In the Select Search Scope window, click New.
  3. In the New Search List window, type a descriptive name for the search list in the List name field. For example, type performance.
  4. Under Topics to search, select the sections you want to search and click OK. The Select Search Scope window displays your search list.
