This document is the Help on Help document, which means the document that tells you how to make sure you get the most out of your Help. Within this document, you'll see descriptions of how to navigate the Help, how to operate the Help window, as well as other useful information that's good to know of.

Help window buttons

The first thing you'll notice about the Help window in Opera is the button bar. These buttons are used for easy access between the different parts of the Help and most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but in any case, here are the buttons again, with their corresponding uses.

To the right of the button for Keyboard shortcuts is the zooming of the window in percent. This feature works on the Opera Help just as it does on any other Web page. For more information on Opera's unique zooming capabilities, please see the description of the zooming feature.

  • Features
    The features page contains a list of the many new features of Opera 4.0, and, although not the definitive list, will please all Opera users.

    Security online is an issue most people should know at least the basics of. The Help aids you on this matter in the security document, accessible from all pages.
