Retrieving Related Articles

Glossary  Return to Start  Previous  Next

 

Keywords are useful for retrieving information related to a specific topic from your Personal Knowbase data file. By specifying keywords relevant to the information you seek, you can view all related articles. To use keywords to find related articles in an open data file:

 

In the Index column of the Index Window, highlight a keyword relevant to the information you want.

 

Select the Right button.

OR Double-click on the keyword.

 

The highlighted keyword moves to the Selected column of the Index Window. Only the titles of articles related to that keyword are now displayed in the Selected Titles column of the Index Window.

 

If a large number of article titles are listed in the Selected Titles column, you may want to pare the list down further by selecting more keywords.

 

If the header of the Selected column is Selected (OR), set the mode back to AND by selecting the Selected Keyword Mode command from the View menu and selecting the AND option from the cascading menu.

 

When the Selected Keyword Mode is set to AND, the articles listed in the Titles column are related to ALL of the selected keywords. When the Selected Keyword Mode is set to OR, the articles listed are related to ANY of the selected keywords.

 

You can open one of the listed articles by double-clicking on its title.

 

An Article Window showing the contents of this article opens.

 

To close the article, click on the window's close box.
