- <ul>
- <li><strong>Contents</strong> shows the list of main topics.<br/>
- Click a topic to read about it. Double-click to see its subtopics.</li>
- <li><strong>Search</strong> lets you search the Help files.<br/>
- Type a word or phrase and press Enter to see related topics. Then click
- the topic you want to read about.<br/><br/>
- If your search doesn't return any topics, try typing fewer words or a
- different combination of words.</li>
- <li><strong>Index</strong> lists topics alphabetically.<br/>Click an index entry
- to view information on that topic.</li>
- <li><strong>Glossary</strong> lists definitions alphabetically.<br/>Click
- a glossary term to see its definition.</li>
- </ul>
-

- links in the Help window just as you would in a regular web page.</p>
-
- <h2 id="retracing_your_steps">Retracing Your Steps</h2>
- <p>To retrace your steps in Help, click the buttons near the top left corner of
- the Help window:</p>

-
- <ul>
- <li>Click the Show/Hide Sidebar button to show and hide the Sidebar contained
- on the left side of the Help Window.</li>
- <li>Click the Back button to move back through pages you have previously
- visited. It works just like the Back button in the main &brandShortName;
- window.</li>
- <li>Click the Forward button to move forward through pages you have previously
- visited. It works just like the Forward button in the main &brandShortName;
- window.</li>

- links to support options and web-based resources.</li>
- </ul>

-
- <img src="http://mozilla.org/projects/firefox/help/1.0/print.png" alt="" width="38" height="43"/></li>
-
- <li>To print just a portion of the page, first click and drag to select the
- area you want to print and then click the Print button.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h2 id="search_tips">Search Tips</h2>
- <p>If you aren't finding what you want in your search, here are a few helpful tips:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Be sure that you are searching for something that relates to
- &brandShortName;; this is not a general Internet search.</li>
- <li>Try to broaden your search - don't be too specific; terms
- could be worded differently than your search.</li>
- <li>Avoid being too broad with your search: words like "&brandShortName;"
- and "&vendorShortName;" could possibly return all of the pages in the help file.</li>
- </ul>
