over the object in question and press the right mouse button. A popup message will appear on top of the object
with information on its use and any options, warnings or special instructions that might apply. Information is
provided for every selectable object in the application. After reading the message provided, you may click any
mouse button anywhere on the screen to remove the QuickHelp message and continue as usual.
