	There are three common methods of using the help file. You can use ~~either~~ the ~~categories~~ to browse the help file, use the ~~index~~ to search for ~~document titles and use~~ the search ~~function to look~~ in ~~the entire page~~.		There are three common methods of using the help file. You can use the Contents tab to browse the help file by category, which allows you to quickly find the resource you're after based on the type of script you're writing. Alternatively, you can use the Index tab to search for a resource page by title; this is practical if you know the name of the function you're after. Finally, by using the Search tab you can search all documents for a word or phrase. This is helpful when looking for words that may appear in multiple resource pages.

	~~Either one method is good and works well for a variety of situations.~~ As an alternative to the ~~search method~~, you can use Google to search in the online documentation ~~which generally works better.~~		As another alternative, if you are not finding the resource you're after, you can use Google to search in the online documentation.

	~~If you have AutoIt installed then you can find it in the SciTE editor if you press [F1], or in the start menu under AutoIt > AutoIt Help File~~.
