The document you have chosen opens within Microsoft Word.

Alternatively, you may choose to use Doc-To-Help's "in-place" editing feature to edit the document within the Doc-To-Help project editor. You are still editing the document with Word, but it appears in the project editor for your convenience.

2.   Select the Documents item from the left pane.

3.   Right-click the document you wish to open and choose Edit from the shortcut menu.

The document you have chosen opens within the right pane of the project editor.

Note:  Some anti-virus software options can limit the functionality of Doc-To-Help’s “in place” editing features. For a list of known issues, contact Technical Support.
