Nonscrolling Regions

A nonscrolling region displays text or graphics in a fixed location immediately below the button bar. Text or graphics in the nonscrolling region stay in place even if you scroll the other title text. A nonscrolling region can include any Viewer features that can appear in normal text including jumps, popup windows, embedded or extended windows, and any other hot spots.

In the Title

Nonscrolling regions usually appear the same as other title text. However, you can use the [WINDOWS] section of the project file to assign different a background color to a nonscrolling region. (See Chapter 17, “Project File Format,” for more information.)

In the Topic File

Nonscrolling regions look the same as ordinary paragraphs in topic files. They are formatted using the Format Paragraph command with the Keep With Next option.

Parameters
