or Ctrl+Shft+F.
Before you can start learning how to use the program, it is important that you learn what to do when you want more information on using particular commands or you need help with a particular feature. Every command in the Maxsurf applications is thoroughly documented in the User Manual. This section of the training manual describes how to open the manual and find what you are looking for.
You can access the manual from different locations:
1. From the Windows Start Menu: Programs | Maxsurf | Help
2. From within the application in the Help menu
3. From within the application by pressing the F1 function key.
Note
In this Training Manual, a vertical bar ‘|’ will be used
to separate menu titles, sub-menu titles and commands in specifying the
location of a command from a menu. For example, Help | Maxsurf Help indicates
that Maxsurf Help can be accessed from the Help Menu.
Many commands can be accessed from toolbars and via keyboard shortcuts
(specified in the menus); however in this manual, access to commands will be
described through navigation of the menus.
You will need Adobe PDF reader to open the manuals.
If you have opened the Maxsurf User Manual PDF file, you can search for a key word or phrase by clicking on Search from the Edit menu, and following the instructions in the Search PDF pane.
You can also use this toolbar button: or Ctrl+Shft+F.
The manual is also available in online format from the Formation Design Systems Support Centre at www.formsys.com/support.
The Support Centre also offers a Knowledgebase which includes Frequently Asked Questions and Tips and Tricks databases.
