From: Marco on 22 Jul 2010 10:05 Hi, i'm facing a strange problem.. i always used the doc command and it showed me the complete reference page of the fuction (using as an example the command "doc figure" i used to visualize the page as available on the internet at http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/figure.html ) what happens if i now type the same command is that it visualizes, on the usual window just the help of the function (it's formatted but it's exactly the same text you get typing the command "help figure") a few more things i noticed: - in the doc window searches now do not show any result (so if i search for the window command it returns the "no matches found" page) - in that same window if i browse through the content i can still see the original page (contents->MATLAB->Functions->graphics->handle graphics->object creation->figure) how is it possible to restore the original behaviour? i'm sorry if i've written too much but i wanted to provide you all the details i noticed...

Hi Marco, just to clarify, you can access the html help documentation through the Table of Contents in the help browser, but not with the >>doc command? A few questions: 1.) Does >>doc by itself bring up the help browser? 2.) If you enter >>docroot what is returned? 3.) is the path returned the same as MATLABROOT/help where MATLABROOT is your MATLAB root directory Wayne
