Many help windows also include a See Also box or link.

If you have questions about using the operating system or working with windows, the Help feature on the Start Button is a valuable resource.

Within a specific application, there is also a Help Menu specifically related to that particular application. Almost all if not all applications have a Help menu on the menu bar. If you need information on how to use the application or any of its features, this is the first place to search.
