Single Source Version 1.0                   8/8/99

Thank you for trying Single Source.  We are sure you will find it an easy way to 'single-source'
your documentation. This means you only need to maintain a single Word 97 document to create the
same publication in three formats: paper, Windows Help, and HTML.

INSTALLATION

The following software is required to use Single Source:

 Microsoft Word 97 to create documents and run conversion macros. 
 Microsoft Help Workshop to compile Rtf files into Help.  You can download this from the
  following site:

     http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/HCWSETUP.EXE

Single Source comprises the following files:

 SingleSource.dot, which contains the commands needed to process documents.
 Paper.dot, the template for your paper documentation. 
 WindowsHelp.dot, the template for Help RTF files (only used behind the scenes).
 SingleSource.doc, the paper documentation for Single Source.
 ExampleGuide.doc, an illustration of the layout you should use for a user's guide to an
  application.
 SingleSource.hlp, the Help documentation for Single Source.
 Standard HPJ, a template Help Project File used to compile Help from RTF files.

Installing the Templates

Copy the three template (.dot) files to your User Templates directory for MS Word97.

To find out where this is, choose Options from the Tools menu, then click the File Locations tab.

Installing the Application

If you don't want Single Source to be automatically activated each time you start Word, do the
following:

1. Open MS Word.
2. From the Tools menu, choose the Templates and Add-Ins option.
   The Templates and Add-Ins dialog is displayed:
3. Click the Add button.
4. Locate and add the SingleSource.dot template.
   In the list to the left, an entry for SingleSource.dot will be displayed and checked.
5. To activate Single Source in a new Word session, open the Templates and Add-Ins dialog and
   tick the SingleSource entry.
   
Alternatively, if you do want it to be automatically activated each time you start Word, simply
copy the SingleSource.dot file to the Startup directory for Word.  To find out where this
directory is, click Options on the Tool menu, then click the File Locations tab. 

To display the help for Single Source, simply double-click on the help file as it appears
in Windows Explorer or My Computer.
