Hey y'all...
In online help, it is sometimes necessary to decribe multi-level menu
choices. I have chosen to use the triangle graphic, that solid triangle
with the point to the right, flat side to the left (I know there are proper
terms for this, but I flunked geometry). Or choose the font "Webdings,"
type the number 4 - 4. That way, it just about replicates what the user
sees. There's a .bmp for that already installed in RoboHelp's default
.bmp's, or you could use a symbol icon. Or, you could create your own in
Paintshop.
