Tooltips (Help)

Overview

OED provides popup help (tooltips) within the web browser to help users.

Usage

Anywhere you see the "?" icon, you can click to get a popup to see help on what is near the icon. This is shown in the next figure where the "?" icon is highlighted with a blue box. The "?" icon has been clicked and the help tooltip popup is shown.

OED tooltip usage

Normally only one popup is allowed but a few can be shown simultaneously. In general, there is a link to the appropriate help website page to give the user further information on this part of OED.

Details

There are help files for each version of OED. The version is shown in the footer at the bottom of each web page. When you click on a help link it will take you to the help for the version of OED that you are running. You can look at the help for other versions by using the "Help versions" dropdown menu at the top of all help pages. If the help page did not exist in a previous version that you try to go to then you get an error page.
