Tips for using Mac OS Guide

Here are a few tips for using Mac OS Guide effectively:

m Mac OS Guide is available only when you are in the Finder—the

desktop area where you can see the icons of disks, folders, and files.
(Other programs may also have help available in the Guide menu,
however.) If you don’t see Mac OS Guide in the Guide menu, pull
down the Application menu (to the right of the Guide menu) and
choose Finder.

m Follow the steps when you’re instructed to; don’t skip ahead or read

ahead. That way the computer can check to make sure you’ve done a
step correctly.

m Unlike most windows, the Mac OS Guide window stays in front of

other windows on the screen so that your instructions are never
covered. If you need to move the Guide window out of the way, drag
it by the title bar at the top of the window.

You can also move the window out of the way by clicking the zoom
box. Click the box once to shrink the window; click it a second time
to expand the window to its original size.

m If you need more information about an instruction or a term, click

the button labeled “Huh?” to get further explanation. (The “Huh?”
button is dimmed when no additional information is available.)

m If you want to return to the main Mac OS Guide window, click the

Topics button in the lower-left corner of the Guide window.

m When you’re finished using Mac OS Guide, click the close box in the

upper-left corner of the window.
