Getting Help

If you are unsure how a particular CD-ROM works, please refer to its Help menu. Usually, this is accessed by clicking on the word Help in the menu bar at the top of the encyclopaedia's window - in some encyclopaedias, this will be represented by a question mark symbol.

  1. Click on Help on the menu bar or symbol for Help.
  2. The Help window will open, probably containing three options - Contents, Index and Find.
  • Contents provides you with an overview of how to use the CD-ROM.
  • Index gives general subject headings on issues relating to using the CD-ROM effectively.
  • Find allows you to type in a particular search word, and then takes you to the specific item - eg. Copying Text.
