What is the best way to update a help file once it's already been compiled

As programs get updated, many of the programmers I write for don't highlight their Microsoft Word help document changes.  This leaves me to re-compile their newest document - creating many headaches for me if the previous document needed hyperlinks and such - I then have to re-create all these again.  Please let me know what suggestions you have - I'm very new to all of this.

You could start by using Word's compare feature to compare the last document with the current one, then make those changes in the online help.
After amending the help, use RH's Printed Documentation to push back out the content including your changes. That way, next time you will only have their changes for the current period without the clutter of what you had to edit the previous time.

  • What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts.  What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it.  Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them.  I can still watch YouTube videos et al.  About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways. 
    Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it.  A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity.  If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash.  What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead.  Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash.  What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base?  You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5.  Uninstall Flash and see for yourself.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

  • What is the best way to update the delivery time?

    Hi All,
    One of the tasks I have in my job is to updste purchase orders with information found in the orderconfirmation we receive. In the order screen, ME22N, you can change the date in the item, where you have all positions listed. But you can also change it in the tab classifications.
    What is the best way to update the delivery time?
    Best Regards
    Praveen

    Hi
    It may userfull to you
    If you change the delivery date after you have send the PO, then the statistical delivery date is still containing the old delivery date., as long the order is not send this date is changed together with the delivery date.
    Vendor evaluation is performed based on statistical delivery date.
    So if you are responsible for a date change, then you change both dates, that the vendor does not get bad points. but if the vendor cannot deliver at the wished dates, then you change the delivery date only, that all people in your company and MRP run can rely on the new delivery date, but your vendor is evaluated against the old date, because of his fault.
    regards

  • What is the best way to keep my personal files stored in iCloud separate from my work-related files?

    What is the best way to keep my personal files stored in iCloud separate from my work-related files? It seems that I'm not allowed to link my iPad mini and my work iMac using two different accounts, so I'm wondering how to make my single personal account work for both, while keeping personal vs work files reasonably separated.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Is it possible for you to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive? That would mean, all Macs upgraded to Yosemite, and all mobile devices to iOS8?
    See:  iCloud Drive FAQ and iCloud: About using iWork for iOS and iCloud
    In iCloud Drive you could create two separate custom folders, one for work documents and one for private documents and organize your documents there.  Don't use the app specific folders (Keynote, Pages, Numbers, ...) , because you can only create one level of folders inside these folders.

  • What's the best way for reading this binary file?

    I've written a program that acquires data from a DAQmx card and writes it on a binary file (attached file and picture). The data that I'm acquiring comes from 8 channels, at 2.5MS/s for, at least, 5 seconds. What's the best way of reading this binary file, knowing that:
    -I'll need it also on graphics (only after acquiring)
    -I also need to see these values and use them later in Matlab.
    I've tried the "Array to Spreadsheet String", but LabView goes out of memory (even if I don't use all of the 8 channels, but only 1).
    LabView 8.6
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    But my real problem, at least now, is how can I divide the information to get not only one graphic but eight?
    I can read the file, but I get this (with only two channels):
    So what I tried was, using a for loop, saving 250 elements in different arrays and then writing it to the .txt file. But it doesn't come right... I used 250 because that's what I got from the graphic: at each 250 points it plots the other channel.
    Am I missing something here? How should I treat the information coming from the binary file, if not the way I'm doing?
    (attached are the .vi files I'm using to save in the .txt format)
    (EDITED. I just saw that I was dividing my graph's data in 4 just before plotting it... so It isn't 250 but 1000 elements for each channel... Still, the problem has not been solved)

  • [Solved] What's the best way for me to help with Arch?

    I've been using Linux for about 10 years and Arch for a little over a year.  I used to do a lot of distro-hopping but I've found that since finding Arch, I haven't been doing much of that.  I don't know why it took me so long to find it.
    Anyway, I'd like to give back a little so what's the best way for me to help?  I'm not a programmer so I'd be no help there.  I have made a couple contributions to the wiki and filed a bug.  I know that kind of stuff is easy and obvious.  Is there anything else I could be doing?
    Last edited by brianhanna (2010-04-07 02:25:34)

    I hear the Arch Linux Magazine could always use some contributions, if you're inclined towards that sort of thing. I've been wanting to write an article for a while, but I've not run into anything in my Arch experience so far that's really inspired an article out of me.

  • What is the best way to update Currency information in SRM?

    Dear Experts,
    there was additional information introduced in R/3, with respect to a certain currency (this currecy got a second abbreviation, whereas the first abbreviation was set as the primary ISO code).
    Can you please help me understand, what is the best way to get this additional information updated in SRM 7.0 (Classic)?
    - Do we replicate via the DNL_CUS_BASIS3 object?...and if yes, do we replicate from Development R/3 system to development SRM system and than transport it to SRM Quality and Production...or do we replicate level by level, i.e. from R/3 development to SRM development and than from R/3 Quality to SRM Quality and so on...
    OR
    - Do we update this change manually in SRM Development and than transport it to SRM Quality and Production?
    Thank you very much.

    Please elabotate what additional information regarding currency you need to update.
    As per std. SRM we may use "BBP_GET_CURRENCY" that will update currency details from ECC to SRM.
    But always you may add on required fields as required using enhancements.

  • What is the best way to update your reference images?

    Hello,
    We are using MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 7x64. We have an automated process to generate our reference images using Powershell and Hyper-V. It works great.
    We generate new images once per month, and I would like to know the best way to update the .wims in the deployment share.
    Can I just copy the new .wim file into the deployment share with explorer and overwrite the old one? I assume this method will retain the old GUID in the MDT console. Will new deployments just start using this new .wim as soon as it is coped? Do I need to
    update the deployment share?
    Do I need to import a new OS through the MDT console? Doing this I assume will require me to select the new .wim in my task sequence, since the newly imported OS will have a new GUID.
    Also, these .wim files are used in our test deployment share before our production share. Can I just copy/paste from one share to the other? What does this do to the OS GUID? Does it get a new one or does it retain the old GUID from the original share?
    Appreciate any feedback.

    As long as the replacement WIM is the same version number, and the same WIM Index, I would be OK with just robocopy'ing the install.wim over the old version.
    Replication between the test and production shares should use the same GUID's so you should be OK.

  • What is the best way to update a folio produced by someone else?

    I need to update files that were created by someone else and have already been published in folio producer. The client has given me access to the folio via DPS folio producer.  What is the best way to go about getting access to the InDesign files via Folio Producer? Or so I need to go back and get the InDesign files? Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere else recently but all the posts I have seen were older. Thanks.

    I assume the folio was shared with you? If so, copy it in the folio producer so you have you own folio.
    Then get the source files. You can then relink your copied folio to the InDesign files.

  • What is the best way to integrate a sound file (mp3) into a PDF?

    I saw that its possible to do it by Tools->Multimedia->Sound. This works fine on a computer but not a tablet. So what is the right way to embed a sound file into a PDF of maybe by Indesign? What i want is that people can easily open a document (PDF) on a tablet and when they click on a (play)icon that they hear a sound file. The best thing is that they can stop or put it on pause.

    I think this functionality relies on Flash, so it's not likely it's going
    to work on mobile devices, certainly not on iOS ones.

  • What is the best way to send multiple pdf files to my ipad

    what is the best way or app to send multiple pdf files to my ipad, so that I can then combine them into one folder

    I have the app Readdle Docs. It allows you to move PDF files to your device and to move them around on your device. Might check it out. ( I think there's an iPad version of the app, but I have the iPhone version and it works, just not as pretty)
    THere's also Goodreader, but I don't have experience with it to know if it has folder abilities.
