| ReadMe > Viewing Help Content |
There are several ways to view the help content provided with the product. Each of these forms contains the same content.
The product documentation is available in an HxS file. To view the files in stand-alone mode, from the Start menu in Windows, select
Start -> Programs -> ComponentOne -> Spread Studio 8 -> Product,
and then select Spread for WinForms Help (for the entire product documentation) or Formula Reference (for just the Formula Reference which is common to all Spread .NET products).
The product documentation is also available in PDF files for easy viewing and printing. From the Start menu in Windows, select
Start -> Programs -> ComponentOne -> Spread Studio 8 -> Product -> Printable Documentation.
An HTML page is displayed in your browser with a selection of links to PDF files and a link to download the latest Acrobat Reader.
The product documentation is also available in a compiled help file (CHM file) under the <Install Directory>\Docs\Product folder. Select the help under the ComponentOne name on the Start screen with Microsoft Windows 8 or 8.1. This is the older form of compiled help, but many developers are familiar with using this form.
The help is also integrated with Visual Studio .NET and appears when you press F1 or otherwise summon the help from within the development environment.
The documentation is available online in HTML at http://our.componentone.com/wiki/index.php?title=Spread.NET.
