- are indexed to 450 help topics. To run the full program you need: an
- IBM compatible computer, DOS 6.0 or higher, Windows 3.1, Word 6.0, a CD-
- ROM drive, a 16-bit sound card, and headphones or speakers.

-
-
- Demo Limitations
-
- The demo is a full working version of the complete program. It does,
- however, have one major limitation. You can access only one of the 450
- help topics. The topic that's included with the demo is called "selecting,
- words."
-
-
- Installing The Demo
-
- From the Program Manager activate the File menu and select the Run option.
- Enter the path for the demo's SETUP file and click on the OK button.
- For example, if the demo files are in C:\TEMP, you would enter:
-
- C:\TEMP\SETUP
-
- The setup program asks you whether you want to install the demo in the
- following directory: C:\AHDMSW6. If this is acceptable, click on the
- Continue button; otherwise enter a different directory.
-
- The setup program creates a group called Audio Help Demo with an icon for
- the following program: Audio Help Demo for Word 6.0.
-
- To start the program open the Audio Help Demo group and then double click
- on the icon for Audio Help Demo for Word 6.0.
-
-
- Running Audio Help Concurrently With Word
-
- After you start the demo you should start your Word for Windows program.
- Generally, you want Word for Windows and Audio Help for Windows to both
- appear on your screen at the same time. This usually involves resizing
- the Word for Windows program by dragging its lower edge up.
-
- Note: You cannot resize Word for Windows if it's maximized. If it's
- maximized and you need to resize it, start by clicking on its Restore
- button (the double arrows that appear in the top right corner of the Word
- for Windows screen).
-
- If Audio Help for Windows gets lost under other programs you are running,
- you can find it by holding down the ALT key while you repeatedly press
- the TAB key.
-
-
- The Main Screen
-
- After you press the Run Program button on the Copyright screen, the Main
- program screen appears.
-
- In the center of the Main screen is the Topics button. Press the Topics
- button to see a list of available audio help topics. After you select a
- topic the Main screen reappears and the audio help message begins to
- play.
-
- There are four buttons on the Main screen that you can use to control the
- audio message. From left to right they are: Rewind, Play, Pause, and
- Stop.
-
- Underneath these buttons is the audio scroll bar. By dragging the bar's
- box or by clicking on the bar's left and right buttons you can move to
- any point in the audio message.
-
- Note: It's recommended that you stop the audio help message before you
- use the audio scroll bar.
-
-
- Audio Help Index
-
- After you click on the Topics button on the Main screen a list of topics
- appears. You can select a topic by:
-
- 1. Entering a search phrase that highlights a topic on the topic list.
- You can then click on the OK button.
-
- 2. Scrolling through the topic list, highlighting the topic you want, and
- then clicking on the OK button.
-
- 3. Scrolling through the topic list, then double clicking on the topic
- you want.
-
-
- Following Audio Instructions
-
- While you are listening to a set of audio instructions you can click on
- the Word program and perform them. You must be certain, however, to
- activate the Word for Windows program by clicking on it before you
- attempt to perform any of the audio instructions.
-
-
- Volume Considerations
-
- Setting the proper volume for the audio help messages involves the
- following hardware and software considerations:
-
- 1. You need a properly installed 16-bit sound card to run the program; it
- does not work with 8-bit cards.
-
- 2. Your speakers or headphones must be connected to the appropriate jack
- on the soundcard; you will not hear anything if you make the
- connection to your CD-ROM drive.
-
- 3. Your soundcard might have a volume control built into it that you will
- need to adjust.
-
- 4. Your soundcard might also come with a software program that you will
- need to use to adjust the volume.
-
- 5. Your speakers or headphones might have volume controls that you will
- need to adjust.
-
- Note: You cannot adjust audio volume with the Audio Help for Windows
- program.
-
-
- Exiting The Program
-
- You can exit the program from the Copyright screen or from the Main
- screen; you cannot exit the program from the Audio Help Index screen. To
- exit the program double click on the button that appears in the top left
- hand corner of the program.
-
- If you don't have a mouse, press the ALT key and the SPACEBAR to open the
- Control menu, then press C for Close.
