   • To see a list of index entries, click the Index tab, and then type a word or scroll through the list. Topics are often indexed under more than one entry.

   • To locate every occurrence of a word or phrase that may be contained in a help file, click the Search tab, and then type the word. For details on searching, see Searching for Help Topics.

2. Click the contents entry, index entry, or search results entry to display the corresponding topic.

To copy a help topic:

1. In the Topic pane, right-click the topic you want to copy, and then click Select All.

2. Right-click again, and then click Copy. This copies the topic to the Clipboard.

3. Open the document you want to copy the topic to.

4. Position your cursor where you want the information to appear.

To copy only part of a topic:

To print the current help topic:

  If you print from the Contents tab (by right-clicking an entry, and then clicking Print) you will see options to print only the current topic, or the current topic and all subtopics.

To hide or show the Navigation pane:

• On the toolbar, click Hide or Show to close or display the Navigation pane, which contains the Contents, Index, Search, and Favorites tabs.

  If you close the Help Viewer with the Navigation pane hidden, it will appear that way when you open the Help Viewer again.

To see where the current topic fits in the information hierarchy (contents):

• Press Alt+C.

  The Contents pane displays, with the current topic highlighted.
