Online Help

motif.factory provides a full online version of the motif.factory manual.

If you select Help ... from the Help Menu or the  button on the Tool Bar, the Help Window is opened.

The Help Window works just like a web browser window, so its operation should be quite familiar to you.

The left pane of the Help Window shows a tabbed navigation pane to allow you to quickly navigate to a topic, whilst the right hand pane shows the help topic.

The navigation pane can show three different views, depending on which tab you select:

•    Displays the Table of Contents Navigation Pane, providing a structured list of motif.factory topics
•    Displays the Index Navigation Pane, providing an indexed list of motif.factory topics
•    Displays the Search Navigation Pane, allowing you to search the help topics for keywords

The Help Window has the following Tool Bar buttons:

•    Navigates backwards to the last page in the access sequence. If you press and hold the mouse button over this button, you will get a list of accessed pages
•    Navigates forwards to the next page in the access sequence. If you press and hold the mouse button over this button, you will get a list of accessed pages
•    Selects the home page
•    Refreshes the current page
•    Prints the current page
•    Displays the print settings dialog

• pressing the button on the Tool Bar and the clicking over the item of interest

You can press the Help Key in any motif.factory Dialog to access the relevant help page for the Dialog.
