Finding help topics

Use the Contents or Search buttons to find a topic of interest.

When looking for specific content using Search, it can be helpful to decide if you want to find topics containing any of the words you enter or all of the words you enter. The default behavior is to return all the topics containing any of your words. To get a shorter, more focused list of potential topics, use AND between your search words. Alternatively, if you know the exact phrase you want, you can enclose all your words in quotes.
