Set Help Preferences

The Help Preferences settings affect the way online help is displayed and determine whether an external browser is used to display help information.

Note: If you do not specify use of an external help browser, the Diagram Trace Utility uses an internal panel to host the web browser.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Preferences from the Window menu.

    The Preferences dialog appears.

  2. Navigate to Help

    The Help Preferences dialog appears.

  3. Set the following options to suit your needs:

    Open dialog context help

    Specifies whether to open dialog context help in a dynamic help window or in a pop-up information box.

  4. Click OK.

    The Diagram Trace Utility saves the new settings and closes the dialog.
