User assistance
Structure Editor user assistance makes command information available as you perform tasks. You can access command, conceptual, reference, and instructional information any time during a session.
User interface help features
-
The Structure Editor startup screen provides access to Help, and basic operations, such as logging in and opening existing documents.
-
ToolTips help you find command names. When you point the cursor at the command button on the toolbar, a label displays the command name and details about the command.
Help
A structured table of contents and full-text search capabilities provide easy access to Help topics. Press F1 any time you need Help. When a command is active, the Help topic for that command appears. If no command is active, then the table of contents for the Help topics appears.
You can also access the table of contents by clicking Structure Editor Help on the Help menu.
When you use the search capabilities:
-
Searches are not case-sensitive.
-
Punctuation marks such as the period, colon, semicolon, comma, and hyphen are ignored during a search.
-
You can group elements of your search using double quotes or parentheses to set apart each element. You cannot search for quotation marks.
-
You can use wild card expressions to search for words or phrases. Wild card expressions allow you to search for one or more characters using a question mark or asterisk. For example, the search string "dimension*” would display topics that contain the term "dimension," "dimensional," and so on.
