Follow these steps to browse through a manual in online help (just as you would with an actual paper book):
|
|
|
1.
|
To display a list of books for
ACIS (including individual books for components), click on
Contents. The Selection frame displays a list of all available books.
|
|
|
2.
|
Using the scroll bar as necessary, click on the bookshelf icon for the book you are interested in to link to its table of contents. Use your browser's
Back button to return to the previous list of books.
|
|
|
3.
|
A closed book icon to the left of a heading indicates that there are subheadings beneath it. Click on the closed book icon to expand the list. The closed book icon changes to an open book and displays the list of subheadings. Expand or collapse all of the main headings at once by clicking on the book icons for
Open All and
Close All at the top of the Selection frame.
|
|
|
4.
|
From the Table of Contents, you can browse through the manual page by page just like you would with a printed book or you can click on the topics that most interest you.
|
|
|
5.
|
To display the next topic from the list of visible topics in the Selection frame click on >>. If all headings are collapsed so only the main headings are visible, clicking on this button takes you to the next main heading. If a main heading is expanded into subheadings, clicking on this button takes you to the next subheading or main heading below it.
|
|
|
6.
|
To display the previous topic in the list of topics visible in the Selection frame, click on <<. If all headings are collapsed so only the main headings are visible, clicking on this button takes you to the preceding main heading. If a main heading is expanded into subheadings, clicking on this button takes you to the preceding subheading or main heading above it.
