Tooltips for Commands
A tooltip is a pop-up help window that appears when the cursor is hovered over a command’s icon (Figure 1-8). Initially, when you place the cursor over a command icon but don’t click, a tooltip appears, identifying the command. After a few seconds the tooltip expands to further define the command.
Accessing Other Help Information
If you cannot find a command or if you need further instructions for operating a particular command, type a keyword into the text box in the program’s title bar, and press Enter or click the Access to Help button located in the top-right section of the screen (Figure 1-9). The icon for the Access to Help tool is a question mark within a circle. The Help dialog box appears. Type in the name of what you are seeking and click the magnifying glass icon just to the right of the search box.
