- I originally asked:
- > Is there a way to share the contents of a component between several
- > documents in a book? For example: document ID, release date, version ID...
-
- The replies I received all specified how to do this using the Catalog feature.
-
- Aside from the obvious steps (creating the catalog, creating the shared
- component in the catalog with "contents shared" set, and copying that component
- into the other documents) the key step that I had missed on my own attempts
- was (thank you Guenter!) "Locate the Catalog icon BEFORE all of the other
- icons in the book!
-
- I also asked about on-line help.
- >Oh... for some on-line help... :-(
-
- Anne Tice correctly pointed me to the "on-line help Tool" that can be loaded
- through the tool manager (Active Reference) for Interleaf 5.
