Task topics appear in various Helps books. Here are some ways to see them:
-
In the Index tab, type
- a verb (add, choose, delete, export, insert, import, specify, and so on),
- a noun (affix, allomorph, variant, a field name, and so on), or
- the word "about".

Each field displays a menu button
with a Help command. It opens a Help topic that describes the particular field and has hyperlinks to related topics.

Beginning Tasks overview, Basic Tasks overview or Advanced Tasks overview provide task help for tasks you may do only when you begin using FLEx, more often or rarely.
