For information about the dialog boxes and editors, refer to [Spread Designer Dialogs](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-designerguide/spwin-spd-dialogs) and [Spread Designer Editors](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-designerguide/spwin-spd-editors).

You can obtain help for using Spread Designer by selecting **Help** from the **Help** menu icon, or by clicking the Help button in some dialogs.

If you are using the **Properties** list, you can press F1 to obtain the help topic for whichever property is selected in the list. You can also press F1 while an object is selected, such as a cell, to obtain the help for that object. For example, if a cell is selected and you press F1, the help displays the Cell class help topic.

Remember that the **Properties** list refers to the properties of the overall component, sheet, row or column, or even individual cell, depending on what is selected. Properties of shapes are edited in separate dialogs. For more information about shapes, refer to [Designing Shapes](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-win/overview/spwin-designerguide/spwin-spd-useshapes).
