How to Find Help

Up until now, Adobe's documentation always left much to be desired, usually offering information that was difficult to find or that didn't offer enough detail. However, Illustrator CS2 includes the new Adobe Help Center, which you can launch by choosing Help > Illustrator Help. Alternatively, you can launch the Adobe Help Center from Bridge. The Adobe Help Center lets you search across all Adobe applications, save bookmarks to easily come back to topics you've searched for, and even keep a list of all of your personal contacts you go to for help.

Another extremely valuable resource is Adobe's own user-to-user forums (Figure 1.33), which you can find at www.adobeforums.com.
