# Help on Help

This document is the Help on Help document, which means the document that tells you how to make sure you get the most out of your Help. Within this document, you'll see descriptions of how to navigate the Help, how to operate the Help window, as well as other useful information that's good to know of.

## Help window buttons

The first thing you'll notice about the Help window in Opera is the button bar. These buttons are used for easy access between the different parts of the Help and most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but in any case, here are the buttons again, with their corresponding uses.

Help window button bar
| Print document |  | Copy text |  | Search in document |  | Previous document
| Next document |  | Go to the home page |  | Alphabetical Index |  | Keyboard shortcuts

To the right of the button for Keyboard shortcuts is the zooming of the window in percent. This feature works on the Opera Help just as it does on any other Web page. For more information on Opera's unique zooming capabilities, please see the description of the zooming feature.

## Navigation bar

Located at the very top of the Help documents, the navigation bar contains links to the most used pages of the Help. The bar contains these references:

- Index
  This link will take you to the alphabetical index page, containing references to all the topics of the Opera Help, sorted alphabetically.
- Features
  The features page contains a list of the many new features of Opera 5, and, although not the definitive list, will please all Opera users.
- E-mail
  Opera 5 comes with a built-in, commercial level e-mail client, and this link will take you to the page detailing all there is to know about the e-mail client.
- Contact list
  Another great feature is the Contact list, Opera's built-in addressing book feature. The link will take you to the page about the Contact list.
- News reader
  This link will open a document in this Help that contains information about Opera's built-in news reader, Opera Software's news server, and other useful information about news groups in general.
- Bookmarks
  Opera's bookmarking feature has been claimed the most user-friendly in any browser by both Opera users and publications. This document has information about it.
- Security
  Security online is an issue most people should know at least the basics of. The Help aids you on this matter in the security document, accessible from all pages.
- Contact
  Please use the addresses and links in this document to contact the right department in Opera Software. You'll also find other general information about Opera and licenses here.

These links are available on all the documents in the Help. The navigation bar is very easily accessed through using the link that is available at the top of every topic. It looks like this:

The last entry on the navigation bar, "Home", will take you to the front page of the Help for Opera.

## Alphabetical Index

The alphabetical index lists all the topics in the Opera Help, and should be used whenever you are looking for something specific. As detailed above, you'll need only to use the link at the top of every page to be taken to the alphabetical index.
