You can use the scroll bar on the right side of the list to view the different entries, or you can begin typing keywords in the text box above the list. As you type, the list of index entries automatically advances to the entries that begin with the letters you type.

When you see an index entry that seems to be related to the information you are trying to find, double-click the index entry.

–If there is only one topic in the Help associated with that index entry, that topic appears in the display area on the right.

–If there are many applicable topics, the Topics Found dialog box appears. Double-click any topic listed in the dialog box to view it in the display area.

●Search

The Search tab enables you to search the entire Help system for specific words, such as "borderless print".

Tip If any of the words you are entering are fairly common (such as "print", in the "borderless print" example), you might want to place quotation marks around the combination of words for which you are searching. This limits your search so that the results are more relevant to the information you need. Instead of returning all topics that contain either the word "borderless" or the word "print", the search will only return topics that contain the phrase "borderless print".

After entering your search criteria, click List Topics to view all the Help topics that contain the words or phrases you entered. The results are listed in a three-column table. Each row contains the topic Title, the Location in the Help where the topic is contained, and the Rank, assigned based on its relevance to your search criteria.

By default, the results are sorted by Rank, so that the topic containing the most instances of your search criteria is at the top of the list. You can also sort the results by the topic's Title or Location, by clicking the table heading for that column. To view the contents of a topic, double-click that row in the results table. The selected topic appears in the display area on the right.
