The Interactive Guide™

An Interactive Guide is like a combination of a help system and a toolbox. Each guide is designed to help you with a certain complex or composite task. The tasks are organized in sequential steps, and for each step you will find some explaining text and a few tools to click on to solve your task.

The guide is interactive, which means you are not forced to follow the steps strictly. As you go along, you may undo operations if you make a mistake, and you may choose to use other tools from the menu or toolbar in between. Still, the guide provides the basic receipe, and will do the work in most cases.

Automating your tasks

While working with a guide, you may record the commands you perform. The recording can then be "played back" using other, similar documents, to process them in the same way. After some time working with different types of documents, you will have a nice "toolbox" of recordings that suits your way of working. A unique tool for improved efficiency for you and your colleagues.

The recorder is located in a separate frame at the top of the guide, and works pretty much like a tape recorder.
