| To access the help files you can either use the F1 key
or go to the Help menu and choose Using Dreamweaver. |
|
| The Help Window's row of icons at the top perform
a variety of functions, such as: |
|
Hide Button: Only shows half of the screen
containing the help file currently being displayed. If there is no
help file chosen, the Help home page will be displayed. If you wish
to view the left half of the screen again, click the Show button.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
Back button: brings you to the previous
help file accessed. It will be greyed out if it can't go back any further.
|
|
Forward button: After using the Back button
you can return to the file you were using when you clicked the Back
button by clicking forward. It will be greyed out if there is no file
to go forward to.
|
|
Home button: returns you to the Dreamweaver
MX help home page
|
|
Print button: allows you to print the current
file.
|
|
Options button: Gives the same options
as the buttons such as back, home, hide, etc.

| |
| The Contents tab gives a complete list
of all the topics. Click on a title to expand it and see the next level
down of topics. When you click on a topic, it expands and displays whatever
topics are below it. To see a particular topic, click on it once and it
will be displayed on the right hand side of the window. |
|
| |
| The Index tab allows you to see all the
topics in a list of headings and sub-topics. This tab allows you to type
in a keyword (such as Flash buttons) and have all related
topics displayed. To read one, double click on the topic or click on it
once to highlight it, then click the display button. The file will then
be shown on the right hand side of the screen. |
|
| |
| The Search tab enables you to search for
a specific word or phrase and it will list the topics in which that word
or phrase occurs. This is different than the index because it will not
show the results in a hierarchical order and will highlight the word or
phrase everytime it appears in the text. If you put the phrase in quotation
marks, it will find that exact phrase rather than each word. |
|
| |
The Favorites tab allows you to create
a list of help topics that you wish to bookmark.
Go to the Contents, Index,
or Search tab and locate the topic
|
|
| |
Click on the Favorites tab. Click the Add button
to add it to the Topics list. To read the file, click on the topic
once and then click the Display button. If you wish
to remove a topic once it is on the list, click on the topic and then
click the Remove button.
