RE: Help function

["Tony Goodwin" <tony.goodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use a compiled help file on network server and access th appropriate
"page"
from the AS/400 when function key pressed using RUNRMTCMD. (over TCP/IP
network)

It does have some "security issues" - (allowing user to access PC from
AS/400) but it works quite well.

I assume you could do same either by using runrmtcmd (" ... word.exe
.../docs/doc1.doc")
where the document is sensitive to where you are in application.

In fact it might be better to use wordview, to only allow read only view -
probably open faster too

Let me know if you want more info

Hello,

Our HelpDesk person asked me the other day if there was a way to type Help
Text into a Word document, and then access that document from the 400 when a
user presses a function key (such as F1=Help)?  If I remember right, this
was an option using OfficeVision, but I can't remember if or how this is
done using a Word Document.  Has anyone done this sort of thing, and if so,
what have you used?

TIA,
