The Doc-To-Help toolbar for Word includes three buttons to make adding and defining topics a simple process. The Add Topic, Rename Topic and Delete Topic buttons give you complete control over all the topics from the Word source documents in your project. Simply select the location for the new topic, click the Add Topic button and type the topic text, to create a fully functional topic in your project. More importantly, all the features for Word related to a topic (adding topic links, cross-references, etc.) can be accessed without first building your project. This eliminates the need for time consuming multiple builds.
