TextGrid : Help Contents

After clicking “Help Contents”, the general help is shown in a new window of your standard web browser. This new window contains a header, where you can enter a keyword for search. If you click “Scope”, you can select an area that the search should be restricted to. By default, all topics are searched.

The main window is separated into two parts. The left part is similar to the Navigator View. It shows a tree structure of all help contents. The right part shows the entries of the help content. In the toolbar of the left part you can choose different operations:

• Print  the selected topic with or without all subtopics.
