Adding Document Links
Text or images can be linked to internal documents or documents located on the Internet such as PDF manuals, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc. When the link is clicked the document will be displayed with the HelpConsole page window.
External Document
1. The easiest way to add a link to an external document is to simply type the URL. The URL text will be converted to a link. If the url contains spaces, enclose the url in double quotes.
Example: http://www.extremeease.com/help/helpconsole%202008/manual.pdf
2. If you want to change the link text, or any other link property, right click on the link and click 'Properties...'
3. Type a shorter caption such as 'Product Manual' for the link and click OK.
Internal Document
1. To insert a link to a document located on your web server, place the cursor at the location that you want the link to be placed.
2. Click the 'Document Manager' icon.
3. Select the document that you want to insert. Documents are normally located in the 'Docs' folder.
4. If the document is located on your computer or network, click the 'Upload Document' tab, select the file and upload it to the web server.
