5.6 Accessing On-Line Help
Many windows, such as pop-ups, provide a HELP button to access context-sensitive Help. For those win-
dows without a HELP button, the
? button, available on the application toolbar, can be used to get Help.
You can also access the Help system using the Help item on the Micro-Tools window menu bar to display
the Help menu. The items on the menu provide access to Help in a variety of ways. "How to Use Help"
instructions are also accessible from this menu.
5.7 Specifying a Default Project
The first step in using most Micro-Tools tools is to specify a project, then to pick an item to create or edit. If
you plan to use several tools to work on the same project during a Micro-Tools session, it is advantageous
to use the drop-down combo-box on the Project Toolbar to specify a default. Once you have specified a
default, every selection window you open will list items relevant to that project.
If a default project has been specified, you can still use the open selection window to temporarily pick a dif-
ferent project, or you can quickly change the default.
