(This program has its own separate help.)

Include Options:

These options can be used in combination with Help & Manual's conditional output features. Topics and content that don't match the selections you make here will be excluded from your output. Please study Conditions and Customized Output before using!

If no options are selected the Include Options list is highlighted in red to indicate that no output will be generated.

Print selected TOC items only:
Only outputs items currently selected in the TOC. Use Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click to select multiple TOC items. Can be used in combination with other include options.

Current format:
By default the include option for the selected output format is preselected. If you also select other options you must leave the current format option selected, otherwise content tagged for the current format will be excluded!

Text and Links:

Options for controlling how colored text and hyperlinks are to be displayed in your output. Set accordingly for monochrome or color printers.

Print links with page referrers:

Prints hyperlinks with "page referrer" cross references. These little icons showing the page number of the referenced topic.

Settings - scaling and booklets:

Page scaling or booklet printing. Select Normal (1:1) for best quality in normal printouts.

Print cut marks:
Prints professional printer-style cut marks for trimming your output

Settings - pages output:

All pages, current page, odd pages, even pages, defined page range.

Page Range:
Enter the numbers of the pages you want to print separated by commas (example: 12,42,49). Note that all page range numbers refer to the sequential numbers of the sheets of paper in your output, not to the numbers shown on the pages, which may be different. Use Print Preview to check the numbers of the pages to output.

The Print Preview function previews your printout on the computer screen. The options are exactly the same as in the first screen of the normal Print Dialog. Print Preview is extremely fast, you can use it for a quick preview of your project layout.

Unsupported functions in preview mode:

•Selection by page number and booklet printing options are not supported in Print Preview mode. Selected Topics in the Include Options section works, however.

•Page numbers are not displayed in the page referrers (cross references to page numbers for links) in Print Preview mode. The page referrer icons are shown, but they are empty. This is not an error. The referrer numbers can only be generated when you actually output to a printer.
