Arbortext has a really great help system. A writer or developer should be using it often. For me, I have placed a shortcut on my desktop. The help file is in the format of Microsoft compiled help (extension .chm). It is located in <arbortext-installation>/help folder and is called help.chm. Double-click to launch the file.

Arbortext Editor Help File
If you are using Arbortext Editor or other products, press F1 or, from the menu, Help > Help Topics which opens the help file.
When you are reviewing emails from the Adepters mailing lists, the Arbortext User’s Community (to Join, http://portal.ptcuser.org/p/st/ld/sid=s1_001), you will see a posting that states see help 7550. To view that help page, you type it from the command line. If the command line is not visible, turn it on from Tools > Preferences, category Window, and check the Command Line.

Starting a Help File from the Command Line
There are times when you will need to share some information from one of the help files. In order to retrieve the help file number, right click on the page, and get the properties.

The properties will open and you can obtain and share the help file (help 7550).
