How to Use Quattro Pro Help

Quattro Pro uses the Windows Help system to present an online version of its printed documentation. Quattro Pro Help includes all standard Windows Help features, as well as several features unique to Quattro Pro.

To learn more about standard Windows Help features, including Help menus and buttons, click the following green, underlined text (place the mouse pointer over the text and press the left mouse button):

Standard Windows Help

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

Object Help

Multiple Help Files

Browsing Through Help Topics

Printing a Group of Reference Topics


Object Help

Quattro Pro identifies each Toolbar button as you point to it. Its name appears at the bottom of the screen.

For more information, point to an object and hold down Ctrl as you right-click the mouse. An Object Help window appears.

Usually, the Object Help window has a Help button. Click it to display a related help topic.

Multiple Help Files

Modern Help systems are alternatives to printed documentation and can be as extensive. To ensure that Quattro Pro Help loads and exits quickly on all supported computers, we have divided it into several linked Help files. This way you do not 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.

Printing a Group of @Function or Macro Command Topics
Printing a Group of Reference Topics

The File menu for Quattro Pro help has two additional print commands: Print Group Of @Functions and Print Group Of Macros. These commands let you print a group of @function or macro command help topics, instead of printing one topic at a time.

Use these commands to print a set of related reference topics or create your own printed @function or macro command reference.

Printing a Group of Topics

To print a group of @function or macro command topics,

1.	From Quattro Pro help, choose File|Print Group Of @Functions or File|Print Group Of Macros from Quattro Pro.

2.	Click the name of a group of topics to print. The Print Group dialog box opens.

3.	Select the topics you want to print. Click a topic to select it. You can click multiple topics. Choose Select All button to select all topics, or De-select All to de-select them.

4.	Choose Print to print the selected topics.

To cancel printing at any time, click the Cancel button.

Tip:	You can also print a group of @function and macro command topics by clicking a printer icon ( [image]) at the top of topics that list categories of @functions and macros.

Note:	The Print Group Of @Functions and Print Group Of Macros commands use the Windows Help Print function to print a series of individual help topics. Each topic printed in a group is an individual print job.
