I am researching new ways of presenting context sensitive help, instead of opening a topic from the full help. Cannot find info about What's this?
I want to know what the output looks like. Is it in a 'bubble', does it appear when you hover over a field in the product, or must you click a link?
Has anyone had success using this tool?

I think I remember seeing threads that dismissed this method as not very useable anymore. Do a search for "what's this?" & check out what threads you get.

I thought i heard that too.
I used that exact phrase, plus others, in a search - to no avail. That's why I hoped that someone on the forum may be able to shed some light.

Hi Sue
If you want to see "What's this" help in actual use, hopefully you have Windows XP. I don't think I've seen any What's this since migrating to Windows 7. Not sure about Vista. Anyhoo, if you have XP, just open Microsoft Paint. (Click Start > Run > Type MSPAINT into the Run dialog and press Enter).
From paint, click File > Save As and you should see a dialog similar to below. See the Question Mark in the upper right coner? Click it and the cursor changes.
Click the item you want information on and if it's available, a description will be presented.
Hopefully this helps with providing what you were looking for.
Cheers... Rick
