Using the Online Help



Online Help Table of Contents


This HTML viewer is so durned easy to use that you shouldn't even have to look at this help file. Go wash the dishes instead. Well, since you asked: The viewer is designed to work like many Web browsers: the hypertext links between document pages or specific spots in longer documents are in blue underlined text, like the "Online Help Table of Contents" link above.

That Table of Contents link will be at the top of every page, so you can get back to your beginnings, if need be. Below it will be the main page heading, and if there are any in-page links, they will be below this heading.

There are a couple of tools in the viewer. The left book icon will also take you to the Table of Contents; the middle book icon will take you to the Help index, and the right-facing arrow will take you to the previous page, whatever one you just viewed before the current page before your eyes.

You can use the standard Windows windowing commands to Maximize and Minimize the viewer. From the File menu, you can open the Help pages that are also referenced in the Table of Contents. If you want to get your full screen back for focused management of your city, you can print any of these help pages by choosing the Print Current Page command.

The View menu mimics the page icons explained above. The Help menu gives you a little tidbit about the viewer, and also has the command (Help Using Maxis Help Viewer) that will take you to this very page you're reading. Don't forget that you can resize the viewer screen with the resize box in the lower right corner, so that you can look at help info while you're viewing your city.

It's that simple--get back to your city!
