Subject:add button to print html help system From:Mary Choy <mchoy -at- SIRIUS -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 5 Aug 1999 13:49:06 -0700
i've created a help system using robohelp-for-html, version 7. i've send it
single-source to webhelp.
i want to add a button that allows the user to print the entire help sytem.
is that possible?
maybe if i send it single-source to a word doc, and then just add a button
to the webhelp that launches word and sends that word doc to the printer?
(ugly -- how would i add such a button?) or should i send it to
single-source word doc, convert it to pdf (how?), and then add a button to
view the pdf and print? (how?)
ugly.
TIA for any ideas on this,
m.
