## Getting Help by Pressing the F1 Function Key

You can press the F1 function key at any time to bring up the online Help. You can also use the F1 function key in different contexts to find specific topics more quickly:

- Dialog Boxes: Access a dialog box. Press F1 while it's open and has the program focus. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic associated with that dialog box. If a dialog box contains multiple tabs and you want to access the Help topic for a specific tab, first click an item on that tab (such as an option button, list box, check box and so on) to give that tab the program focus, and then press F1.

- Toolbar Icons: Hover your mouse over a toolbar icon in the main toolbar area until the yellow ToolTip appears. Press F1. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic that discusses that icon.

Hint: With toolbar icons, if either the yellow ToolTip or the help topic doesn't readily appear, click on the main PC-DMIS window a couple of times to give it the focus and try again.

- Menu Items: Hover your mouse over a menu item (not over a menu heading) on the menu bar. Press F1. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic associated with that menu option.

- Commands: Access the Edit window. Place it into Command Mode. Click on a command and press F1. PC-DMIS displays the Help topic associated with that command.
