Chapter 1 Multiframe Help

Before you can start learning how to use the program, it is important that you learn what to do when you want more information on using particular commands or you need help with a particular feature. Every command in the Multiframe application is thoroughly documented in the User Manual. This section of the training manual describes how to open the manual and find what you are looking for.

Opening the Manual

You can access the manual from different locations:

1.       From the Windows Start Menu: Programs | Multiframe | Help

2.       From within the application in the Help menu

3.       From within the application by pressing the F1 function key.

Note

In this Training Manual, a vertical bar ‘|’ will be used to separate menu titles, sub-menu titles and commands in specifying the location of a command from a menu. For example, Help | Multiframe Help indicates that Multiframe Help can be accessed from the Help Menu.

Many commands can be accessed from toolbars and via keyboard shortcuts (specified in the menus); however in this manual, access to commands will be described through navigation of the menus.

You will need Adobe PDF reader to open the manuals.

Finding a Topic

If you have opened the Multiframe User Manual PDF file, you can search for a key word or phrase by clicking on Search from the Edit menu, and following the instructions in the Search PDF pane.

 

You can also use this toolbar button:  or Ctrl+Shft+F.

Other Resources

The manual is also available in online format from the Formation Design Systems Support Centre at www.formsys.com/support.

 

The Support Centre also offers a Knowledgebase which includes Frequently Asked Questions and Tips and Tricks databases.

 

Next we will have a brief look at starting Multiframe and opening and closing a design in Chapter 2 Starting Multiframe.
