Paula, another idea for your start in Winhelp:
I recently had a party at my house and emailed everyone an hlp file
containing all the different ways you could get to my house with way
cool maps.
I included a shg of the whole county that you could click where you
were coming from and linked to the corresponding directions. I even
included different versions of the same directions for those that need
hand holding vs. those that have an internal compass. Plus a bonus
troubleshooting (one word :) guide for what to do when you get lost.
The directions file was a big hit and now other folks at work are
considering using HLPs for other information.
The downside is that I'm moving in 2 weeks and have to completely
rewrite the whole file.
Have a great weekend folks!!!
