which is available for all registered users for download!
We are going to inform all registered users about this free update
via email during the next days.
New features
• Browser based help now supports a keyword index in addition to
the table of contents and advanced synchronization when you open a
particular topic directly. To add a keyword index to existing help projects
please read my article in http://helpman.it-authoring.com/viewtopic.php?t=371.
• PDF export and print manual output support page referrers. A
page referrer is a small icon next to a link that shows the page number
to refer to.
• Impict comes with two new object types: a line object (for
simple lines and arrows) and a more complex callout object which
combines text with a shape and a pointer:
you can construct text variables that contain other text variables.
• Variable overwrite: Replaces text variable values defined in the help project with values from an external file. This enables you to replace some or all of the variables in your project with other values without changing the embedded variables. For example, you can use an external file to compile an evaluation version with different titles etc.
• Improved table formatting: the table dialog box offers to modify
column widths manually and support background colors. Grid lines are
scaled more accurately in the print manual.
• Fix for the black images bug on Windows XP: this bug
occurred on several Windows XP systems, screen shots appeared as
black rectangles in PDF files and in the print manual.
• New Topics menu entry: Find Referrers generates a small report
that lists all topics that refer to the current.
• Project report: the full project report now lists anchors, macros and Internet links.
• Find & Replace: the search entry box supports a drop-down list and remembers recent searches.
• Change status short cut was changed to Shift + Alt + S because
the old short cut is a character in several east-european languages.
• HTML topic templates: the default template now creates less space
between topic header and text.
• HTML HELP: the index tab was always visible, even if no keyword index
was available. Help & Manual now automatically hides the keyword index
tab in compiled HTML HELP files if no keywords were defined.
• Impict remembers the color depth when it opens an image.
• Topic status (automatic setting after topic changes): spell checker
corrections do not longer automatically change the status of the topic, as
a misspelled word is not meant to be a change of the content of the topic.
The date/time stamp of the topic is updated though.
