Opens the Print dialog, which lets you print the open Help topic. |
Print Preview |

Toolbars |

|
Options |
Opens the Options dialog, which lets you set various options. For more details, see Options Dialog. |
Dockable |
If you select the "Dockable" option when a window pane is active, the Drag Pane area is shown or hidden in the window pane accordingly. The Drag Pane area lets you move the window pane and dock it elsewhere in the program window. |
Auto Hide |
"Pins" the active window pane or editor to the side of the interface so that you have more room for your workspace. You can show the window pane by hovering over the thin bar on the side of the interface. If you select the "pin" button at the top-right of the window pane, the window pane returns to its previous state (no longer "pinned" to the side of the interface). |
Floating |
Converts the active window pane or editor to a "floating" window, which means it is no longer "attached" to the interface. This is a good option to use if you want to work on two topics side-by-side. If you do not want a window pane or editor to be "floating" anymore, you can right-click in the title bar and select Floating. |
Layouts |
Opens a submenu, which lets you select options for creating and selecting layouts. A layout is a particular configuration of the workspace.
|
Help on Help Viewer |
Opens the online Help for the Help Viewer. This option displays only if you do not have a project open. |
