For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm creating a help system for a financial
application. If users call help from a
screen, a topic will be displayed that
explains how to complete the task on that
screen.
I would like to provide a visual or written
cue in the topic that identifies where the
screen-specific procedure fits into the
larger workflow.
where the user's position in the workflow is
highlighted.
Can anyone suggest alternatives? I don't have
the resources for icons or graphics, so I'd
prefer a textual solution. Also, I am developing
WebHelp and am limited to the functionality
that can be achieved with HTML and JavaScript
(authored in RoboHTML v9.2).
Thanks,
Rowena
