Explanation of Text Marking in the Help Window:
In the following, the meaning of the different highlighting of terms or text portions in the help window is explained:
● As a rule, the terms of the help topics appear in green type and are underlined.
The Help Index comprises two týpes of underlining with different meanings:
- When a term or text portion underlined with a solid line is clicked on, the user obtains information on
the selected topic in the help window.
- The Help Index glossary contains terms underlined with a dotted line.
If such a term is clicked on, the user obtains, in a separate box, a quick definition of the term.
● Terms from the user interface of the LC program are highlighted in red.
They cannot be selected.
