But instead of a static list, this site uses a searchable database. And instead of someone choosing the tools that are included, vendors choose whether to include their tools. http://tc.eserver.org/25836.html http://tc.eserver.org/25836.html My client wanted screen shots in their CHM, but the screens were very large thus creating problems when printing a topic. With some help from Dave Gash, I got the large screen shots to open at 50% size, with a function for the user to resize them to 100% either all at once or one at a time. The function also toggled back to 50% at the user's discretion. This solved the problem of large screen shots in the online help, while allowing error-free printing to occur. http://tc.eserver.org/25831.html http://tc.eserver.org/25831.html Various articles, presentations, tips and hints on using AuthorIT. http://tc.eserver.org/25832.html http://tc.eserver.org/25832.html As other Help authoring tools (HATs) fall by the wayside or the scuttlebutt about their demise gets stronger, one HAT that continually gets favourable mention is AuthorIT.
