Today’s featured tech tip….
How to quickly get ‘Help’ for most any Windows program
If you use one or more Windows programs on a regular basis you probably need to consult a “Help” screen on occasion.
While you can almost always find the “Help” option on a menu somewhere, there’s a very simple and super-fast way to open the “Help” screen in virtually any Windows program that has one.
All you have to do is press the F1 key and the “Help” screen will open up immediately.
If you’re using a Windows PC right now you can give it try. Just press the F1 key and watch what happens.
Pretty easy, right?
Now you won’t have to go searching for “Help” when you’re using a Windows program. Just remember to press F1 and you’ll be all set.
