- åLimitations
-
-
-
- When you save a help file on disk, the resulting document is text-only.
-
- Pictures interspersed in the text are not included. The text may contain
-
- extra paragraphs in the absence of the pictures, ones that do not appear in
-
- the screen or printed version. If you need to save a copy of the help file
-
- with pictures in a more standard format, you can print the help file,
-
- either selecting PostScript® output, or using an alternate printing
-
- Chooser extension which creates picture files, such as Print2Pict, a
-
- useful piece of shareware written by Baudouin Raoult.
