      Why are you reading the help file for Opera 12? Pressing F1 or choosing Help from the menu should display the help file for your version.

        That's the problem. F1/help leads to a error page and when you click on the link on that page, it leads you to a page where Opera Blink is not listed.

        You'll only see the help page for Opera Blink if you click on "learn more" while in the settings page.

          No problem here. It takes me to http://help.opera.com/opera/Windows/1471/en/ normally.

            I thank all who responded but it not helped at all. Again all the recommendations made do not help because none of what you are saying appears in my settings (reread my questions/comments)....(My drop down menu is different then what is shown in "help". I get no "preferences" after settings) What is hard to understand about that? ( There is no "zoom bar" on lower right, I can't even adjust size of font in browser only on web pages.) Again what I stated and what's missing is correct on my PC. This is an endless loop with folks telling me what items are in the Opera menu (upper left Opera button) do not exist, settings do not have the adjustments for browser font size or preferences after clicking on settings. It is like I'm in an alternative universe. Thanks but no thanks, maybe I'll try again at some point in the future but now it seems to be a waste of all our time. Will uninstall.............

              Seriously????

              What's hard about this?
              Opera's main menu

              If you can open a simple menu in Opera good luck getting your way in other browsers.

                Someone must be using user agent switcher, I suppose.

                  User-Agent-Switcher doesn't change the Opera 22 menu, or if the poster presses F1 when he is in his Opera 22 browser, the help function that appears. Rubibontheroad seems to be looking at help menus for the Opera 12 browser, and then complaining that it doesn't apply to anything in Opera 22. Am I missing something here?

                      Opera's help site does use browser sniffing to route you to the right index page - or did in Opera 12. Of course in Opera 12 they had overrides to prevent you from hiding the user agent from Opera's own sites. I don't know whether they can override an extension ...

                        Ok, on Stable it seems to lead to the correct page but on Next and Developer it leads to http://help.opera.com/error/

                          I have an old laptop computer which still uses Windows XP Intel Centrino. I am trying to get up toolbars on the Start Page. I need to be able to have access to "File, Tools, Copy, Paste", etc...I have tried to look on Help and still can't seem to be able to do this function. What am I not seeing here. I am kind of technologically a newbie, so if anyone has a similar kind of computer, please tell me how to do this procedure STEP BY STEP.I have a recent download of Opera. Thanks.

                            There is no menu bar in Opera 22 - or any version since 15.

                              If this all the functionality this browse has, it has a multitude of functionality problems. The first one I really notice is deleting browsing history on exit is not available, this is major. This is like drivinga stick shift car instead an automatic.

                                Well I would never drive an automatic car from choice, but that's my preference!
                                I do agree that the new versions of Opera should have the facility to clear the browsing history on exit though if that's what the user wants.
                                🙂
