The Windows Help Authoring Templates (WHAT30.DOT and WHAT31.DOT) are document templates that modify Word for Windows. You can use the Help Authoring Templates to create and edit Help topic files. The Help Authoring Templates make creating Help files easier by providing dialog boxes to add Help features that would normally be created using specialized Help coding and word-processing functions. For example, instead of entering footnotes for a topic’s context string and title, you can simply type the information in a dialog box. (The process for entering topic-level information by hand is discussed throughout this book but primarily in Chapters 6 through 10.)
Note:
The information in this section is based on Word for Windows version 2.0, but the authoring templates also work with version 1.1. If you are using Word for Windows version 1.1, some of the commands and authoring steps may vary slightly from what’s in this section.
