TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
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.
You might want to re-think how you are using the graphics in the HTML
format. Since the manual is to be used on-line instead of hardcopy, it
opens up a number of ways you can motivate the user interactively.
I'm assuming that the numbering system layed over the graphic is directing
the user to a description key of some kind? Why not take the graphic,
divide it into hotspots and have the description appear as a pop-up when
you mouse over or click?
Oh, something else I discovered. It's a lot easier to control the graphic
if you put it in it's own, blank topic and then refer to the topic as a
pop-up or dynamic drop down.
The book RoboHelp 2000 Bible ISBN 0-7645-4644-9 is an great reference.
