Thanks for sharing Jeff

BTW, what is the latest trend with help files. Still chm?

just a joke but my two cents

WINDOWS 8 Metro styled designed programs - these are self-explaining.
---
I think help files will be more and more html based and hosted on the internet.
Best regards,

This is what I mean:
Please look this is the start screen of our current billing software.
Now with the “Metro style design” we make all easier.
Most of the time the user needs only “NEW” and “Open”.
Only this buttons remain. All other options are in the “charm bar”.
There you have normal sized font which is clear and easy to read and understand.

For example:
There is only one option to close the program.
In windows 7 style only to close the window you have to decide between 3 options – every time you close the program.

Best regards,
Otto
