Context-sensitive help is information about a part of
an application window or dialog box that you identify
using the location pointer.
You can get context-sensitive help in two ways:
- Choose On Context from the application's Help
menu. The shape of the mouse pointer changes to a
question mark. Move the pointer to the area of the
application window or dialog box about which you
want help and click MB1.
- Move the mouse pointer or use the keyboard to get
to the area of the application window or dialog box
about which you want help; then press the Help key.
Sometimes you will see information about only the
particular field, button, or whatever the pointer
is on. At other times you will see information about
several screen objects. Each application determines
how its windows and dialog boxes are divided into help
regions, as well as what information is provided for
each region when a request for context-sensitive help
is made.
