Sample tips project
===================

THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE MANAGEABLE FOR
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL HELP AUTHORS.

This project is designed as fill-in-the-blanks
tip project loadable into virtually any authoring
tool. It includes 30 tips (although you can
certainly use more or less as you see fit),
preassigned images for Next Tip, Last Tip and
Close buttons (these images can, of course, be
changed to suit the needs of your project or
removed completely) and includes all needed
macros and appropriate syntax.

If this project is used as part of a larger
helpfile (i.e. the tips dialog will be displayed
as a secondary window), then the following steps
should be taken:

1. All macros in the [CONFIG] section of the .HPJ
   file will need to be added to the project macros
   list for the helpfile in which this project will
   be used.

2. The styling macro should use parameters which do
   not remove buttons or menus (no buttons or menus)
   are displayed in secondary windows).  The
   ShowTip() macro is used as a topic macro (topic
   entry macro) in every tip topic.  The preauthored
   style for this macro will remove all buttons and
   system menu from the caption bar, size the window
   to dimensions of 500 pixels wide by 350 pixels
   high and center the topic window on the screen.

3. The RTF file will need to be merged with the
   project-in-progress using whatever method your
   authoring tool provides for merging RTF files or
   adding new RTF files to the Help project.

4. The images will need to be changed to suit the
   motif used by the project into which the tips
   module will be inserted.

5. To eliminate "window flash" when the tips window
   is opened as a secondary window, you should assign
   window dimensions of 1022,1022,0,0 to whichever
   window definition you use for the tip display
   window.  THIS DEFINITION SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY
   OTHER TOPICS AND THE 1022,1022,0,0 SIZING SHOULD
   NEVER BE USED FOR A MAIN WINDOW.

6. When in doubt, consult HOWTO.HLP.
