Secondary Windows You can now define and use secondary windows in your help projects. Each window can have a customisable position, caption and colours. Database HelpWrite now uses a central database, which stores all of the user options, such as topic templates, HelpWrite macros, WinHelp macros and colour and window definitions. This allows for more efficient editing and reading of these options. The internal projects system has been redesigned.
Projects can have their own individual titles, properties and more.
A brand new Projects toolpanel has been created, which is displayed similar to a toolbar, allowing you quick access to all the documents in each open project, and access to several of HelpWrite's function windows as well. Also, projects now support individual command options, such as the ability to break compilation into two stages, whereas this was a global setting with version 4. Upgrade Functions HelpWrite 5 can import your colour, window and macro dictionaries from version 4 into the version 5 database. In the same way, version 4 projects can be imported to version 5 format. Document Files Documents now have their own individual titles, and can specify various display settings such whether or not to display a horizontal scrollbar on all document windows, and also define the font and colour settings.
