Windows Help Author Template
Modified for Word for Windows 6.0
By David Gardiner
Internet: dgardine@cssip.levels.unisa.edu.au
20 January, 1994
v1.0
Release Info
The original template was written by Microsoft Corp.
I officially release my update to the public domain. No fee is charged or
required. You are free to copy this file subject to the following
conditions:
1) All of Microsoft's conditions of release are met.
2) You continue to include credit for my modifications.
Apart from that, I hope you too find this tool useful.
The original templates can be found in the Windows archive of
ftp.cica.indiana.edu:
/pub/pc/win3/programmr/WHAT.ZIP
and the Windows Help Author Guide, in WinHelp format:
/pub/pc/win3/programmr/HAG.ZIP
Introduction
I used the Microsoft WHAT templates for a while with Word 2.0 to assist in
the creation of Windows Help files. But to my disappointment, the template
refused to work when I upgraded to version 6.0.
Not wanting to lose the functionality of the template, I proceeded to
upgrade the macros, and add a "Help Author" Toolbar as an extra productivity
aid.
The template works quite well with the Help Project Editor that comes with
WHAT.ZIP. Though there seems to be some incompatibility between HPE and Word
6.0, in that HPE can't start Word 6.0 successfully.
Installation
You will need WHAT.ZIP if you aren't using it already. It contains the Help
Project Editor, and one of the help files that the HelpAuth template uses.
The other file you should get is HAG.ZIP, which HelpAuth also can use. This
contains a Windows help file about how to create a Windows help file.
Copy HELPAUTH.DOT to your Word templates directory. I would copy it to
C:\WINWORD6\TEMPLATE Open the template file HELPAUTH.DOT using Word 6.0
You will have to change the path(s) that point to WHAT.HLP and HAG.HLP. Edit
the two macros HelpHelpAuthorGuide and HelpHelpOnWhat so that the lines that
refer to these files are correct.
Save the template, using Save As. Note that you have to change the document
type back to a .DOT (for template) before pressing OK. You should now be
able to create a New document using the HelpAuth template.
I would be interested in any problems, bugs or comments that you have about my changes to the template.
