Identifying what’s on your computer screen

Sometimes you’ll see an unfamiliar item on the screen and ask yourself,

“What’s that?” You can get an answer by using a Macintosh feature known as

Balloon Help.

Using balloons like those you see in comic strips, Balloon Help explains

the function of icons, menus, commands, and other items on the

Macintosh screen.

Follow these steps to use Balloon Help:

1 Open the Guide menu (marked with the

icon) and choose Show Balloons.

2 Point to any object on the screen that you want to identify.

A balloon appears next to the object. In the following illustration, for

example, pointing to the Trash displays a balloon that explains how to use the

Trash to throw items away.

Although balloons appear next to items when you point to them, the way

you work does not change; you can still select icons, choose commands, and

so on.

3 When you’re finished using Balloon Help, open the Guide menu again and choose Hide

Balloons.
