Description of the software
---------------------------
EasyHelp/Web is a very easy to use hypertext authoring
tool for use with Microsoft Word 6, 7 or 97. It supports most
language versions of Word and was specially designed for non
technical users.
The same document(s) can be used for printing AND for creating
Windows Help files or World Wide Web pages.
EasyHelp/Web is fully functional shareware.
This version replaces all earlier versions.
Installing
----------
Run EZY300.EXE from the Windows Program manager or Windows 95
shell. The installation program detects the operating system
and through a few simple questions, asks how you want to
install the system.
The a self-installing program will setup EasyHelp/Web
on any Windows PC (Win 3.1x, 95 or NT)
What is installed?
------------------
Most of the files are installed in the application directory
(C:\EASYHELP by default) and a further two files are installed:
EASYHELP.INI - in your Windows directory
EASYHELP.DOT - in your Word template directory
The installation includes an 'uninstall' option which you can
use to remove the complete EasyHelp/Web system.
How EasyHelp/Web works
-------------------------
EasyHelp/Web is a Word template which can either be attached to
an existing document, or can be selected when you issue the
command 'File|New' - you select 'EasyHelp' from the list of
templates in your WinWord template directory.
It gives you an additional set of editing tools which allow you
to define a hypertext structure of topics and links within
your Word document and then to compile it into independent
hypertext files.
From the same source document, you can create either Windows
Help files or HTML Web pages, suitable for uploading onto the
World Wide Web
Four Easy steps to hypertext!
-----------------------------
Create a a new document using the EasyHelp/Web template. Then...
1. Create Topics
2. Create Links

4. Build to see your results
A set of example documents is installed with the EasyHelp/Web
software which take you through the main concepts of hypertext
authoring.

register if you intend to continue using it. The software is
time limited and unregisterd copies will eventually stop
working.
