Displaying help contents

The help contents is a hierarchy of all the help topics arranged in a tree. You can expand the tree branches to show individual topics that are displayed with a single mouse click.

Before you begin
You can access the help contents in two ways:
From the dynamic Help view by clicking the All Topics link.
This selection displays the help contents tree in the dynamic Help view. You can expand the branches to find the information you require, and then click the topic to display the help. However, the dynamic Help view is more suited for displaying context help, which is only an overview, but when displaying detailed help topics you probably need to increase the size of the view or make extensive use of the view scroll bars. As an alternative, you can display the contents in a new window by placing your mouse cursor anywhere in the view, right-clicking, and clicking Open in Help Contents.
From the main workbench menu, click Help > Help Contents
This selection opens a new window with two panes. The left pane displays the help contents tree. You can expand the branches to find the information you require, and then click the text. The help topic that you select is displayed in the right pane.
