You can also navigate between topics using hot spots, and revisit recent topics
using the History button. For example:
•
Jump to other topics. Click on hot spots in graphics and text that link to
other topics or to more information about the current topic. Hot spot text
appears as bold green text. Hot spots on graphics are identified by moving
the pointer over the graphic. When you point to a hot spot, the pointer
changes to a hand.
•
Return to any previously viewed topic by choosing History from the
Topic menu. As you view topics, Information Assistant keeps a record of
where you have been. The History button displays a list of the topics you
have viewed, starting with the most recent. Select any topic from this list
to return to it.
Copying and Printing Information
You can copy topic text in Information Assistant for use in other applications,
such as word processors, by copying text onto the Windows Clipboard and
pasting the text into any Windows application.
To print topics in Information Assistant, use one of the print options on the File
drop-down menu. You can choose to print the current topic or all of the topics in
a product book.
With the Mark for Print command, you can choose to mark either the currently
displayed topic or all the topics in the group to which the current topic belongs.
Then use the Print Marked Topics option to print out all marked topics as
a group.
After selecting the print option, a Print Setup box or Print dialog box appears. In
the Print dialog box, you can choose from several options: number of copies to
print, collate, print quality (dots per inch, and print to a file.) In the Print Setup
box, you can select a printer, the page orientation, and the type or source of paper
on which to print.
