Change Labels

Change Lables tool allow you to change the annotations on a single screen or in the whole stack. Simply enter the current annotation and 'replace' it with the preferred text. The author is offered a choice of changing annotations on the current page or in the whole stack. This might be especially useful for converting the program to another language.


Add Text

Add Text allows you to add or change the text relating to a defined keyword. The program prompts for the keyword to be defined and then presents a blank space for the definition to be added. (If the word had been defined previously, the old defintion is presented for modifying.) All new text is automatically * cross referenced. New keywords and definitions are automatically cross referenced with the existing text.


Delete Text

Delete Text allows you to specify a keyword to delete from the database. All hypertext references to it are also automatically deleted.
