Editing Topics

While creating and editing the topic text, you work in Word for Windows so you can use Word’s powerful editing features to perform the following tasks:

nEdit text, perform search and replace, or run the spell checker.

nApply character, paragraph, and table formatting.

nAdd Help features like hot spots and pictures.

Note:

Some Word formatting attributes are ignored by the Help compiler. For a complete discussion of the formatting attributes supported by Help, see Chapter 7, “Formatting Topics.” The list of unsupported features is small, so you have considerable freedom in how you format the topic text.

After creating and editing the topics, you save the file as RTF and exit Word or, if you want to leave Word running, just close the open document.
