The TOC Pane<\/span><\/p>\n\r

Help files are made up of  "topics" which are like chapters in a book. Each topic can be thought of like a separate word processing file. The topics in your project are created and organized in the <\/span>Table of Contents<\/span> pane. This pane provides powerful functions for organizing your topics and structuring your help project.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_968308006="

\n\r\n\r

The Topic Options Tab<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The <\/span>Topic Options tab<\/span> contains a number of important settings for the current topic, including the Topic ID,  help context numbers and the help window associated with the topic. It also contains editing windows in which you can enter the keywords you want to associate with the current topic.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_312455985="

\n\r\n\r

The Index Pane<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The <\/span>Index Pane<\/span> displays the finished keyword index in real time. As soon as you add keywords to a topic they appear in the index. You can also edit the index directly in the index pane, updating all topics where the keywords appear simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_74705691="

\n\r\n\r

The Invisible Topics Pane<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The <\/span>Invisible Topics pane<\/span> is like a second Table of Contents. However, the topics shown here are never included in the TOC. Topics you enter here are used for popups and for information that is only displayed when the user clicks on a link.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_795475474="

\n\r\n\r

The Topic Editor<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The largest pane in the program window is the <\/span>Topic Editor<\/span>, which is like a built-in word processor with special functions for creating help files and the other documentation formats supported by Help & Manual. This is where you edit topics selected in the Table of Contents and Invisible Topics panes. Clicking on a topic in the TOC displays its contents for editing in the editor.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_1239253534="

\n\r\n\r

The Topic Header<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The Topic Header is actually part of the editor but it is displayed in a separate box. This is where you edit the header of the current topic. The header is displayed at the top of the topic page in electronic help formats like HTML Help and is used as the chapter title in print-type formats like PDF. The header box is only displayed if the topic you are editing actually has a header. <\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_334381441X="

\n\r\n\r

The Style Selector<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The <\/span>Style Selector<\/span> is a tool for selecting text styles and applying them to text in your project. Help & Manual now supports dynamic styles, which give you very powerful control over the formatting and layout of your text.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_1342782575="

Toolbars<\/span><\/p>\n\r

The <\/span>Toolbars<\/span> provide quick access to the most frequently-used functions. Just position the mouse over a tool and wait for a second to display a brief text describing what it is for. For a more detailed description right-click on a tool and select <\/span>What\'s This?<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_1256441364="

NEWS: Winhelp is no longer supported in Windows Vista!<\/span><\/p>\n\r

Please note that support for the Winhelp format has been completely discontinued in Microsoft Windows Vista. Even if your applications run under Vista, any calls to Winhelp help will simply produce an error message. This also applies to dual-mode popups in HTML Help. We thus strongly recommend that you start transitioning to an alternative help format as soon as possible. See here for details<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_1023140209X="

A JavaScript Popup<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n\r

\n\r\n\r

\"\"This is an example of a JavaScript popup containing two different fonts, a graphic, <\/span>formatted text<\/span>, an Internet link<\/a> and a topic link<\/a>. It could also contain animation or video files, and in HTML Help and MS Internet Explorer it has a drop shadow and an animated fade-in effect.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<\/td>\n\r<\/tr>\n\r<\/table>\n\r<\/div>\n\r" popid_1443930659="
