Below only applies to the old version 3 of EasyHelp/Web.

Use separate templates for hard copy and for online documents.

Three sets of documents

Consider creating three different sets of documents:

• Print only
• Help only
• Both Help & Print (80% of the material)

Use the following technique

1. Use EasyHelp/Web as a global add-in and use 2 different document templates, one for print (say PRINT.DOT) and one for online(say ONLINE.DOT)
2. Make sure you use Word paragraph and character styles.
3. Make sure each template has the same style names and have the Word "automatically update document styles" option set to on.
4. Refer to Chapter 19: Help -- Managing Large Publications
