Hi Chris, The program displaying help depends on your OS. https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/Help-Window.html Your used version can also be relevant.

Re: [GNC] Help with GnuCash's 'help'
Chris The online version of Help and the Tutorial and Concepts Guide are not really searchable in any meaningful sense from within the HTML page. Other versions may be I have more luck using Google directly to find specific topics and info. The section you are likely looking for comes under "Setting Up, Editing and Working with Accounts" in the Help Manual. Basic procedure is to locate an account in the chart of accounts in the Account Tab in the main window and then double click on the line for the account to open the account register in a new tab. It could be better but is likely limited by technological limitations and/or the availability of documenters to improve it further.

[GNC] Help with GnuCash's 'help'
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but when I search for something in GnuCash's help I often can't see what I've searched for. For example I just searched for 'open account' and it returns five headings - but when I open one of them (for example General Information Tab) I can't find the string 'open account' anwhere in there. -- Chris Green ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
