HTML Help
NoteTab makes the popular "The HTML Reference Library" (by Stephen Le Hunte) available from the Help menu. If you have HTMLib version 3.0 or older, you can install the package in the same directory as NoteTab. Another method that works with all versions is to create a shortcut* to the HTMLib.exe file in the NoteTab directory. The highly recommended "HTML Reference Library" is available from:
http://www.notetab.com/download.htm
This menu command is only available once the "HTML Reference Library" is correctly set up.
(* to create the shortcut: 1. open Explorer and select the HTMLib file; 2. press Ctrl+C to copy it to the Clipboard; 3. select the NoteTab directory and choose the command "paste Shortcut" from the Edit menu. The menu command will be displayed in NoteTab after you restart it.)

HTMLib Color Wizard
This command activates the "HTMLib Color Wizard" utility developed by Stephen Le Hunte. This menu command is only available once the "HTML Reference Library" is correctly set up (see above).

Replace MS Notepad
Once this command has been activated, it causes NoteTab to execute whenever MS Notepad is invoked. When you choose that command, NoteTab will first rename Notepad by adding the extension ".MS" to the program file. Then, it will copy a special little program called NOTEPAD.STB to the Windows or System directory. Whenever this program is executed, it launches NoteTab instead of Notepad. If you want to restore MS Notepad after this operation, just use the command "Restore MS Notepad", which is also available under the Help menu.

Restore MS Notepad
Reverses the changes made by the "Replace MS Notepad" command. This command is only available after you have used the "Replace MS Notepad" command.

Order NoteTab
This command connects you to the order page on the Web. It is only available in NoteTab Light and the trial version of NoteTab Pro.
