ELEMENTS OF LOTUS NOTES

Getting Help
You can get the following types of Help in IBM® Lotus® Notes®:
Context-sensitive Help is available in most areas of Lotus Notes including dialog boxes and properties boxes. To see it, press F1, choose Help > Context Help, or click the question mark on any dialog box or properties box.

To see all the Help available, choose Help > Help Topics from the main menu.

Once you open Help, you can use the Contents, the Index, or the (full-text) Search to locate topics. You can also open Help for other Lotus Notes products (for example, Help for IBM Lotus Domino™ Designer while in Lotus Notes) by using the Actions menu in the Help window.

Getting Help when there is no Help

If you don't have Help locally, and you choose a Help command, Lotus Notes opens the Help on your mail server. When you search this Help, make sure you see a green circle and the word "Indexed" in the Search bar. If not, ask the server administrator to full-text index the Help.

If you try to access Help, and see a message saying "Help files are not available," ask your organization's Domino administrator to add the Help files to your mail server.
