Hyperlinks

For hyperlinked text (i.e. hot, clickable), pop ups indicate the type of information the hyperlink provides. For example, if you move your mouse over the Usage-Pop Ups hyperlink in the Table of Contents (left side of your screen), a Pop Up "question" appears that is addressed by this page.

Graphics and Symbols

You can also move your mouse over hyperlinked Graphics and Symbols to view pop up information. For example, pop ups appear when you move your mouse over the RidgeStar

Logo (upper left corner of the screen) or over the graphics Segment

in the Table of Contents (left side of the screen).

Page Areas
