How to Use This Help System  

Step-by step instructions (help topics) display in this right-hand pane.

To resize the help so it takes up less space on your computer screen, or to make the help window larger:

1. Hold your mouse pointer over any corner and watch for it to turn from a white, single-pointed arrow to a black, double-pointed, diagonal arrow.
2. Hold your left mouse button down. Drag the corner toward the center of the help to make the text area smaller, or drag the corner out to make the text area larger.
3. Release the mouse button when the size looks right to you.

To exit / close this Help system, click on the small x button in its upper-right corner.

To zoom in on a page, Internet Explorer (IE) lets you enlarge or reduce everything on the page:

1. Click the arrow next to the Change Zoom Level button on the bottom right of the IE window.
2. Select the percentage of enlargement or reduction you want.

There are several ways to find information and instructions:

Contents - The topics in the Table of Contents follow the general order of your workflow. Click on a topic in the Table of Contents pane on the left to open it. Click on a closed book button to display hidden topics. An open book button indicates that all topics under that heading are displayed. To redisplay the list, click on the Contents tab.

Help Topics - Click on underlined links within the text to open related help topics. To see where a link takes you before you click on it, hold your mouse pointer over the link and a gray info box like this one displays. Some topics may display expand arrows ; Basic Entry & More is a good example:

• To view only the information under a particular heading, click on the arrow button next to that heading. To close the information section, click the arrow again.
• To view all topic information on a printer-friendly page, click on the Expand button in the menu bar across the top of this help screen. The contents of all expandable sections display.
• To reset the page and close all expanded sections, click on the Collapse button in the menu bar.

Navigation - Click on your browser's Forward or Back buttons to move between screens you have previously visited. You can also use the underlined links in the gray "breadcrumbs" across the top of the help topic.

Print - Click on the Print button in the menu bar across the top of this help screen. Select a printer as you normally would.

Search - Click on the Search button in the menu bar across the top of this help screen. An entry blank displays in the pane on your left:

1. Type in a word or words that relate to the topic you're interested in.
2. Click on Search next to the entry blank or press Enter on your keyboard. The system performs a full-text search and displays a list of all help topics that contain the word or words you entered.
3. Click on an item in the list to open its help topic. To remove search highlighting from a topic, click on the No Highlight button in the menu bar across the top of this help screen.

Basic rules for searching help topics:

• Use uppercase or lowercase letters; searches are not case-sensitive.
• Use any combination of letters and/or numbers.
• Punctuation marks such as the period, comma, hyphen, colon, and semicolon are ignored.
• Wildcard searches - those that use an asterisk (*) in place of letters or numbers - are not supported in the help text.
• To perform another search, just type over the existing entry.

Glossary - Click on the Glossary tab in the left pane to open it. A list of terms displays in alphabetical order below it. Use the scroll bar to see the whole list. Click on the word or phrase for which you'd like a description or explanation.
