Other Help Features in Tools and Products |
In addition to the Help browser and help functions, some products and tools allow other ways for getting help. You will encounter some of these approaches in the course of using a product, such as entries in the Help menu, Help buttons in dialog boxes, and selecting Help from a context menu. These approaches all display context-sensitive help. Other ways for getting help, such as pressing the F1 key, are described in the documentation for the product or tool that uses the method.
In the Command Window and Editor, you can get help while you work. See Assistance While Entering Statements and M-Lint Code Analyzer. In the Current Directory browser, you can get some information for the selected file—see Viewing Information About the Selected File or Directory in the Current Directory Browser.
The Help browser provides access to documentation for all products installed on your system. To view the online documentation for all MathWorks products, use the MathWorks Web site at http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/helpdesk.html.
Technical Support provides help for problems you have with MathWorks products:
Find specific Technical Support information using the Help browser search feature. Run a search for a specified term. The end of the results list includes a link that runs the same search on the support database. This database, on the MathWorks Web site, provides the most up-to-date solutions, bug reports, and technical notes for questions posed by users.
Select Help > Web Resources > Support to go to the Support Web page (http://www.mathworks.com/support). The page displays in your system's default Web browser. You can find out about other types of information such as third-party books, ask questions, make suggestions, view known bugs and workarounds, and report possible bugs.
You will be prompted to provide information about your account or license, as well as your product version numbers. For more about how to obtain the information, see Getting Version and License Information.
If you cannot access the Web site, e-mail Technical Support using the address support@mathworks.com.
To report problems or provide comments or suggestions to The MathWorks about the documentation or help features, use the Provide feedback about this page link that appears at the top and bottom of each page in the Help browser.
