Note:
Some Help macros don’t work when run from a pop-up or secondary window. For example, macros that configure the menu bar or button bar are ignored when run from a topic displayed in a pop-up or secondary window. For each macro listed in Chapter 15, “Help Macro Reference,” the “Comments” section indicates the situation(s) in which the macro will not work. Before using any macro, you should review its description in Chapter 15.
