Identifying objects on the 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.

Balloon Help explains the function of icons, menus, commands, and other

items on the Macintosh screen in balloons like those you see in comic strips.

Follow these steps to use Balloon Help:

1Pull down the Guide menu (marked with the

icon) and choose Show Balloons.

2Point 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, choose Hide Balloons from the Guide (

) menu.
