Subject:How to reference screen captures in online help From:Michelle Vina-Baltsas <Michelle_Vina-Baltsas -at- US -dot- CRAWCO -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 10 Mar 1999 10:45:20 -0500
I'm stuck on this, so I figured I'd ask the experts what they do. How do
you all reference screen captures in your help files? Traditionally, I
have used something like this, "The XYZ sample window is shown below.", but
I'm wondering if anyone else has any other suggestions. Also, for those of
you who add hotspots to your screen captures, how do you reference them in
your help file?
