The topic displayed as a result of a jump is called the destination topic. You can create jumps to any topic in the current Help file. You can also create jumps to a specific location within a topic.
Note:
Using Help macros and other techniques, you can create jumps to topics in other Help files. For more information, see “Creating Links Between Help Files,” later in this chapter.
You can display the destination topic in the main Help window, in a secondary window, or in a pop-up window (Figure 8.5).
For a complete discussion of Help windows, see Chapter 9, “Defining Topic Windows.”
Defining Mid-Topic Jump Destinations
Normally, Help displays the first line of the topic at the top of the Help window. However, you can define jump destinations anywhere within a topic. That way when Help displays the topic, the mid-topic destination appears at the top of the Help window. Mid-topic jumps are especially useful if you have longer topics, because you can create jumps that take users directly to the relevant information within the topic.
To insert a mid-topic destination
1.1.Position the insertion point where you want the topic to appear in the Help window.
2.2.From the Insert menu, choose Footnote.
The Footnote dialog box appears.
3.3.Type the pound sign (#) as the custom footnote mark, and then choose OK.
4.4.Type a context string for the mid-topic destination.
The mid-topic destination appears at the top of the Help window, as in Figure 8.6.
