Simple Test Help File

Here is a simple test document for HelpComp to generate a Windows Help 4.0 help file.

This chapter's heading is a bookmark named Contents10 (generated using the Insert.Bookmark function of Word). This will make:

1.	The text appear in the index and therefore can be cross-referenced anywhere else in the document like this Simple Test Help File (done using the Insert.Cross Reference option [Bookmark, Bookmark text] function of Word).

2.	The fact of adding 10 to the bookmark name (Contents10) will give this chapter the help context id of 10. With this you can reference this chapter in your application with its associated help context id.

The current chapter will also be set as the default Contents chapter of the Help file because it is the first bookmark of the document.

The sequencing (next and previous buttons) of the document is done automatically. Every chapter is seen in the same order as the source document.

You will find in this help file the following examples:

-	Fixed heading example

-	Non-fixed heading example

-	Table example

-	Graphic example

-	Hyperlink example

-	Limitations

The page break was inserted after this paragraph, thus separating this chapter with the next one.


Fixed heading example

The above header will be fixed because it was set with "Keep with next" option in Word.

The next chapter (Non-fixed heading example) is an example with fixed heading.

Heading 2

Heading 2 text

Heading 3

Heading 3 text


Non-fixed heading example

The above header will not be fixed because it was set without "Keep with next" option in Word.


Table example

Here is an example of a table:

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
Data Row 1 Column 1	Data Row 1 Column 2	Data Row 1 Column 3
Data Row 2 Column 1	Data Row 2 Column 2	Data Row 2 Column 3

Remarks:

-	Tables cannot have any borders. Do not set any borders on the table for this will cause a warning message in Help Workshop.

Here is an example of a separation line

Single line

Double line


Graphic example

The following graphic examples were inserted with the following restrictions:

-	Positioning the graphic using the "Float over text" option does not work.

-	The resizing  of the image in Word does not work. To change the bitmap size, you need to have the source file at the desired size.

Here is a BMP example:

Here is a WMF example:


Hyperlink example

You can have 2 kinds of hyper links:

-	Links to other chapters of this help file (done using the Insert.Cross Reference option [Bookmark, Bookmark text] function of Word) like this Fixed heading example.
