Tips for printed documentation

The key to creating quality printed documentation is planning. If you plan from the start to use your Help project as the source files for your printed documentation, you'll be able to implement the strategies that provide you with the best possible outcome.

Here are some tips for making the most of your HTML source files:

Support for Word 95, 97 and 2000

The Document Wizard supports Microsoft Word 95, 97 and 2000. If you have several versions on your system, the Wizard will prompt you to select the Word version to use with the printed documentation. HTML bulleted and numbered lists are only supported in Word 97 and 2000. For Word 95, the bullet and number formats are not included with the text. You can reapply bullets and numbering to the text after you open the documents in Word 95.
