What is needed for me to be able to use LinKit!?
Besides LinKit! Manager, you need access on the same computer to the application for which you want to link user documentation. The documentation itself you can create in your favorite way (with or without a help authoring tool).
What format must my user documentation be in to be able to link it?
LinKit! supports documentation in the form of WinHelp, CHM, HTML pages and XML.
Can I link Word documents to applications using LinKit!?
Word documents can be linked after saving them as HTML pages.
How do I know if the links work correctly?
You can test a link as soon as you create it. You’ll see the same results as your users, too.
How can users access documentation with LinKit!?
Users can either click an icon in their task bar or press a shortcut key to view the documentation linked to a window or dialog box. LinKit! tracks the active window, so it knows which topic to display.
If more than one topic is linked to the current window, users select which topic to view first. You have complete control over the document names that are presented to the end-user, independently from the original naming of the document files.
How do I update my links?
You can continuously and simply update LinKit! — Add new windows, add new documentation, publish, and distribute.
