Equivalent to clicking on the Go Back button. You can repeatedly choose Go Back or click on the Go Back button to step back through the help topics you have seen. - Go To Overview - displays the Overview topic. - Visit Topic - displays the selected topic in a new Help window. This item is dimmed if you have not selected a topic. Contrast with Go To Topic, which uses the current Help window. - Visit Glossary - displays a glossary of help- specific terms. For more information about any View menu item, choose it from the list of additional topics below.
1 – Menus Go Goto
After you have selected a topic from the list of additional topics, you can perform a Go To or Visit operation on that selection. If no topic is selected, these menu items are dimmed. Double clicking on the selected topic achieves the same result as selecting a topic and then choosing the Go To menu item. If you perform a Go To operation on the selection, the new topic replaces the current topic in the Help window. Contrast with Visit Topic.
2 – Menus Go Back
Go Back replaces the current help topic with the preceding help topic. You can step back through the help topics you have seen by repeating the Go Back operation. You can also step back through previous topics by using the Go Back button or by choosing the History... item on the Search menu. Both these methods can be quicker than using the Go Back menu item, especially if you want to step back through many topics.
3 – Menus Go Visit
After you have selected a topic from the list of additional topics, you can perform a Visit or Go To operation on that selection. These menu items are dimmed if you have not selected a topic. When you perform a Visit operation on a topic, the information about the new topic is displayed in a separate window, so that you can see the old and new topics at the same time.
4 – Menus Go Gotoover
Choosing the Go To Overview menu item causes the current help topic to be replaced by the Overview help topic for the current application. This topic usually contains general information and several additional topics.
5 – Menus Go Visitgloss
Choosing the Visit Glossary menu item displays a glossary of terms for the current application in a separate Help window. You can then choose individual terms and see their definitions. Note: Not all applications use the Glossary menu item. In applications that do not, the Visit Glossary menu item on the View menu and the Glossary... menu item on the Help menu are dimmed or missing.
