You can access context-sensitive online Help in the following ways:

• For help with the current page in the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface, click the Help icon at the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  This opens the Help window. In addition to viewing the Help information specific to the page, you can browse through Help topics by expanding and collapsing the table of contents in the left pane.

  A search facility in the Help window enables you to search all online Help topics. To search, click the Find link at the top of the Help window.

• For help with an individual data field on the page, position the cursor over the field label. If the field label turns red and the cursor changes to an arrow with a question mark, help is available for that field. Click the field label to view the help in a separate window.

• To open the Help window when not using the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface, do one of the following:

  • On Windows: Click Start, point to Programs (or All Programs), point to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, point to Get Help, and then select Read Online Help.

  • On Linux with Gnome: In the Applications menu, point to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, point to Get Help, and then select Read Online Help.

  • On Linux with KDE: Click the icon for the K Menu, point to Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, point to Get Help, and then select Read Online Help.
