Add the Frame Instructor Notes Bookmark


After completing this topic, you will be able to add the Frame Instructor Notes bookmark to a document template.


Steps:

  1. We have created a copy of the Instructor Manual publishing project in the WSG publishing category.

    Step 1
  2. We have opened the Instructor Manual publishing project document. The template is located in the language code folder in the lang folder.

     

    In this example, we opened the en folder from the lang folder.

    Step 2
  3. Open the print template.

     

    Double-click the PrintTemplate.docm list item.

    Step 3
  4. The template opens in Microsoft Word.

    Step 4
  5. We have scrolled to the Procedure table. We want to insert the Frame Instructor Notes bookmark into the table so that it appears for all frames.

     

    We will enter three Frame Instructor Notes bookmarks; one for normal frames, one for Decision frames, and one for End frames.

    Step 5
  6. Add a bookmark for normal frames after the graphic placeholder for Action Text. Position the insertion point between the end of the graphic placeholder and the beginning of the Goto_Begin bookmark.

     

    Click just to the left of the Goto_Begin bookmark.

    Step 6
  7. Add a paragraph break after the graphic placeholder to force the instructor note on a new line.

     

    Press [Enter].

    Step 7
  8. View the Template toolbar from the Add-Ins tab.

     

    Click the Add-Ins tab.

    Step 8
  9. View the frame options from the Outline menu.

     

    Click the Outline menu.

    Step 9
  10. Point to the Frames menu.

    Step 10
  11. Add the bookmark for Instructor Notes.

     

    Click the Instructor Notes command.

    Step 11
  12. We've selected the FrameInstructorNotes bookmark to format the text.

    Step 12
  13. We have formatted the text with italics and added a gray background to the text so that the instructor can differentiate the instructor note from the procedure text.

    Step 13
  14. We have added another FrameInstructorNotes bookmark just before the DecisionFrameType_End bookmark.

     

    We also added a blank line (paragraph) before the FrameInstructorNotes bookmark to display the text on a new line.

    Step 14
  15. We have added a third bookmark for the End frame. For this bookmark, we have added a blank line above and below the instructor note to separate the instructor text from the End of Procedure text.

    Step 15
  16. Use Check Syntax to make sure that your codes are entered properly.

     

    Click the Check Syntax button.

    Step 16
  17. Click OK to confirm the syntax check.

    Step 17
  18. Save the template.

     

    Click the Save button.

    Step 18
  19. We have closed the template in Microsoft Word. Now save the Instructor Manual publishing project.

     

    Click the Save button.

    Step 19
  20. We have opened the Saving a Document as a New File topic in the Topic Editor to view the instructor notes in the Frame Comments toolpane.

     

    Notice the text in the Instructor Notes field for the first frame.

     

    This frame contains an Alternative Action. The same note applies to all alternative actions for the frame.

    Step 20
  21. The Decision frame also contains an instructor note.

    Step 21
  22. The first frame in the Alternative Path also contains an instructor note.

    Step 22
  23. Each End frame in a Decision path contains an Instructor note.

    Step 23
  24. We are publishing the Saving a Document as a New File topic to the customized instructor manual in the WSG publishing category.

    Step 24
  25. We have selected the Instructor Manual document format.

    Step 25
  26. We have opened the published Instructor Manual and scrolled to the Procedures table.

     

    Notice that the instructor notes appear for normal frames and Decision frames.

    Step 26
  27. The instructor notes for End frames appear as they were formatted in the template, with a blank space above and below the text.

    Step 27

After completing this topic, you are able to add the Frame Instructor Notes bookmark to a document template.
