Standard Windows Help

Click one of the following topics for an explanation of Quattro Pro Help's unique features:

Clickable Signposts

Glossary Menu

Multiple Help Files


Clickable Signposts

The main Help Contents screen displays a clickable picture for each category of Help information. Topics in that category display the same clickable picture or signpost to the left of the topic title.

No matter where you are in the Help system, if you left-click the picture by the topic title, Help jumps to the introductory screen for the category. If you click the green question-mark icon at the top of this window, you will return to the How to Use Quattro Pro Help topic.


Glossary Menu

Quattro Pro Help adds a Glossary menu to the standard Windows Help File, Edit, Bookmark, and Help menus. To open the Quattro Pro Help glossary, choose Glossary|Definitions.

Click any word in the list to display a popup window with its definition.


Multiple Help Files

Modern Help systems are alternatives to printed documentation and may be as extensive. To ensure that Quattro Pro Help will load and exit quickly on all supported computers, we have divided it into several linked Help files. This way you don't need to load all Help information every time you want Help on a specific topic.

If you click the History button after moving from one Help file to another, all titles in the History list that are located in the former Help file will be prefixed with its file name.
