Rearranging the Help Contents

Upon compilation, the outline for the final Help system is displayed in the left pane of the Contents window. This outline is completely customizable in respect to its structure. The four directional commands on the toolbar or the “move” commands in the shortcut menu are used to alter the outline structure.

To move a topic or book up or down in the outline:

1.   Select the topic or book to be moved in the left pane.

2.   Use the move up or move down commands either from the Contents toolbar or the shortcut menu to change the position of the topic or book.

To move a topic or book right or left in the outline:

1.   Select the topic or book to be moved in the left pane.

2.   Use the move left or move right commands either from the Contents toolbar or the shortcut menu to change the position of the topic or book.

Notice that these commands cannot change a book into a topic or vice versa, but that they merely move the item around the outline.
