There is a new feature in Leopard that is available for every application and program on your Mac. This Help feature is so amazing, it will save you an incredible amount of time and trouble.

How often have you been working inside of a program, and just couldn’t find something buried in a menu that you KNEW was there? Face it, no matter how much you know… it’s happened to us all. Leopard has made it easy for you to find what you’re looking for.

Up on your Menu bar, all the way to the right is the Help menu. When you click on it, the first thing you’ll now see is a Search bar with a blinking cursor inside it. Type a keyword for what you are looking for, and a menu pops down with every place on your Mac that keyword may appear. Hover over the one that is correct, and it will open it for you… and even point a large blinking arrow at it.

Let’s say I need to tweak some settings on my firewall. Click on Help, type in firewall. Not only will it open System Preferences for me, it takes me to the proper place, and even the correct TAB for the firewall settings. It just doesn’t get any easier than that.
