The local notes section is designed to help sites using InfoPop to supplement their local
internet training. Several users have asked for the ability to add local information to the
database (something you can't do to a compiled help file). As a feeble attempt to help with this
problem, we've added the local notes section.
You can attach small notes to any topic via WINHELP's annotate function (under Edit on the top
menu bar). Taking this a step further (maybe?), we've implemented a set of 'empty' topics that
you can put a note on.
Here's how we envision using this notes section:
First, you have 10 topics to assign small notes to. Create a table of contents and attach it to the
initial local notes screen, then attach notes to as many of the 10 topics as you need.
While WINDOWS will put a little paper clip on topics that have a note attached, we've placed
an InfoPop logo to each 'page' that performs the same function--click on it and the annotation will appear.
A couple of caveats
1) a new version of InfoPop won't work with your notes...you'll have to move them over via the clipboard (point being, don't overwrite your existing IPWIN.HLP with a new one if you have notes attached to the old one that you want to bring forward).
2) They're not write protected...so anyone can change or delete your notes. The actual text is
