No, sorry, not quite clear...

I mean that when you open an input window (such as Insert|Indexes and 
Tables|Indexes and Tables) it would be nice to have something akin to 
the MS question mark - or even better a simple right click - to call up 
a little description of what that particular item or field actually does 
and how it interacts with other items/fields.

If you click on the help button at the moment all it does is open the 
help file. Then there is a lot of clicking and moving and resizing and 
scrolling to do to see what does what and it is somewhat inconvenient 
and offputting.

So there, does that make sense? Unfortunately, not having a clue about 
programming, I am not sure whether this would be a pain the arse to do 
or not... But it would make OOo a lot more accessible to Joe Bloggs from 
round the corner.

Hope this helps.

Ingo
