Subject:User Guide, User Manual & Help System From:Selene_Castilla -at- e-strategia -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 29 Jan 2003 07:03:35 -0800
Hi
I have to deliver a User Guide or User Manual and my boss suggests it can
have the same content as the help system (wich would be very easy to do
just pasting the help content into a word document). We've been doing the
manuals this way, but I wonder if this is correct.
Can anybody please help me to understand the differences-similarities?
thanks in advance
