How To Order The Full Program
To order the full program call 1-800-260-8209. The full program is on a
CD-ROM disk and contains almost four hours of audio help messages that
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. The full
program costs $59.95 plus shipping and handling ($3.50) plus Rhode Island
sales tax (if you live in RI). Visa and Mastercard payments are
accepted. The program comes with a 30 day money-back guarantee.
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 centered
text, by shortcut keys.
Installing The Demo
After you use expand the file you downloaded, start Windows. From the
Program Manager activate the File menu and select the Run option. Enter
the path for the program's SETUP file and click on the OK button. For
example, if you expanded program files in a directory called 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.
