Here you need to navigate the tree to get to the topic of interest.

Another very useful tool is the Search documentation option in the upper-right corner of the Help 

window, as shown in Figure A-21.

FIGuRE A-21

  The Books Online Help Search window.

You use the search box when looking for articles that contain words you are looking for. This is a 

more abstract search than a search on the Index tab—somewhat similar to a search performed by an 

Internet search engine. Note that if you want to find a certain word in an open article, click the Find 

button on the toolbar or press Ctrl+F to activate the Find bar.

Tip

  Finally, before I leave you to your own explorations, let me add a last tip. If you need 

help on a syntax element while writing code in SQL Server Management Studio, make sure 

your cursor is positioned somewhere in that code element and then press Shift+F1. This will 

load Books Online and open the syntax page for that element, assuming that such a Help 

item exists.
