I created this since many people seem to be unaware that most of their questions can be answered by using this tool. -------------------- |

Thanks, Haroldo. It is a fact that Help programs ... in any application or operating system ... make an attempt to assistant the user. Remembering that the user typically doesn't know the first thing about any given software. Let alone how it might work with any others it might happen to be installed with (or on) as individualistic as everyone's PC quickly becomes immediately after it's NEW. I'd suggest reading Help menus start-to-finish from the "get-go". Support for software is a determining factor in that program or applications realistic value, too. It's surprising how many freeware programs have excellent help built-in and support forums readily available to continue education of users when necessary. The envy of many shareware firms, IMHO. Spybot Ad-Aware OpenOffice Mozilla Irfanview dbPoweramp just to name a few. Microsoft seems to be slowly improving its help, too. (or else that particular vernacular is finally becoming ... comprehensible to one such as myself ... only well versed in English, alas)

Half the time, I find answer to poster's questions about an application right in the HELP section that is included with it. RTFH
