Menus > Help Menu

The Help menu contains functions that enable you to find help and view information about GOLDWriter.

A note concerning GOLDWriter help:

Windows no longer supports .hlp files, which are older version of help files. However, when you press <F1> from GOLDWriter, a message may appear from Microsoft directing you how to fix the help error by downloading an executable file that allows hlp files to be opened. Follow those steps in order to see help.

However, everything contained in help is also found in the DocsOnWeb GOLDWriter’s User’s Guide. So if you need help, it might be easiest just to consult DocsOnWeb.
