General documentation information

Note that each version of OED has its own documentation pages. You will be taken to the latest version on the website and the version of OED you are running when you get documentation on an OED page. Some documentation pages do not exist in all versions of OED. For example, a feature may not have existed in earlier versions so there is not documentation page for that feature. If you select another version and the web browser gives you a "404 File not found" error then this is likely the case. You can use the web browser's back button to return to the page you were on to get back to the documentation system.

The help icon help icon can be clicked within OED to reveal information about the features(s) near the help icon. That information generally contains a brief overview and links to help pages directly related to the feature being described. This context sensitive help can aid one while working with OED and leads to appropriate documentation pages.

OED uses JavaScript for many features. You must have JavaScript enabled for the web browser page that contains OED. If JavaScript is not enabled then you will see "OED requires JavaScript to run correctly. Please enable JavaScript." when you load OED into the web browser page.
