nList several examples within a topic below the subheading “Examples.” Align the subheading and examples flush left. Format them as either plain text or bold, depending on the amount of emphasis you want subheadings to have (Figure 4.x).
nPlace subordinate examples (text or graphics) in pop-up windows.
Do not include important examples in pop-up windows since this hides the information from the user and, and it cannot be copied.
nPlace in a separate topic, examples that are too long to include within the topic or in a pop-up window. Use this solution for extreme cases only, because it creates added navigational difficulty.
nExamples work well in secondary windows when you want to display the information along with the main Help window.
