Working with a project

After you start HelpCruiser, it is ready to work and you can begin creating new project and manuals (hereinafter books).

Table of contents

Each book consists of chapters and sections (subsections, etc.). Further on, a chapter will stand for a part of the highest level in a project; a section will mean any section or subsection of a project that is not a chapter. Every project has at least one chapter. Chapters and sections arranged together in a treelike structure make a table of contents. You can see it in the left part of the main window.

See also Working with sections.

Contents of a section

It is to the right from the table of contents and usually occupies most of the main window. Working with this part of the program is like working with a regular text editor. You can:

• Create/edit text and its attributes.
• Edit the attributes of a paragraph.
• Create/edit lists.
• Create/edit tables.
• Insert/delete standard Windows control elements
• Import/export the information from (to) different documents (files).
• Insert images.
• Print out the contents.
• Create/delete various links.
• Drag sections from one place to another.

Navigating between chapters (sections)

You can easily navigate between chapters of your projects in several ways:

• Using the mouse: just click the desired  chapter.
• Using the keyboard:

1. Press F5 to go to the first chapter, press F6 to go to the previous chapter, press F7 to go to the next chapter, press F8 to go to the last chapter.

2. If the table of contents is currently active, use arrow keys for navigation.

If you have a lot of information in files of other formats, the quickest and most convenient way of moving them to HelpCruiser is importing them.
