Help Search Window Pane

This window pane provides a way for you to quickly search for information in Help Viewer's online Help. Simply enter one or more keywords in the field at the top and click the Search button. Links to topics containing the keywords are then listed below. You can click on a link to open that topic. The keywords are highlighted in the topic.

If you want to find a specific combination of words that are always next to each other in the same order (e.g., Options dialog), you can enter the search keywords within quotation marks (e.g., "Options dialog").
