Hi all,
I have to say that I find the mac help files can often be less than helpful.
There are many times I have been searching for subjects and had no luck.
Sometimes I have windows terminology and don't know how to translate it into
MacSpeak so that help can understand me. Even after reading some of the help
files I am still in the dark. Take Automator for example,
I am still none the clearer as to how to achieve the things I want to
achieve.
Persoally for me, I tend to try and do both things, look in the help at the
same time as asking on a list... Sometimes it just happens that the list
gets back to me quicker than the help files ever do...
What I find helpful is messages that say where to find or how to find the
information, so rather than just saying read the manual messages that say
'in the help menu for iTunes type in ...'. I think that being able to search
through help files is often a skill in itself.
Take Care all,
>From Penny
