There is a navigation bar at the top of a screenbook page. Click on "next" above to go to the next page of this screenbook. Or, use the space bar and backspace keys to move from page to page.

At the present time, Screenbook Maker is only available for the Microsoft Windows platform. Running Screenbook Maker version 1.x requires Internet Explorer 6.0+, but Screenbooks created with Screenbook Maker can be viewed with any modern browser, including Netscape and Opera.

Screenbook Maker is a free program. For more information about obtaining Screenbook Maker, go to Screenbooks.net .

You can use Windows explorer to copy and move Screenbooks and Screenbook topics and folders.

Esc: In dialogs, close. In the tree menu, show the popup menu.

However, it is still possible to include other images in a Screenbook page by editing the HTML.

1. Each page is a basic unit in an explanation. Try to limit it to a single step in a series, a single idea, or a summary like this page.
2. When you're creating a tutorial for a computer application, try to tell the story in pictures as much as possible. Use words to describe the picture. The picture tells most of the story, but the text allows people to search and bookmark.

Bookshelves are collections of screenbooks that share a table of contents, an index, a common format, and share some common files, such as files for icons.

You can change the bookshelf template or create new ones. To change the template, select Options from the bookshelf popup menu.

HTML Help Files have a .chm extension.

This makes it simple to work with screenbooks via other programs, such as Windows Explorer.

The process goes likes this:

When you click on the Finish button when editing a screenbook, Screenbook Maker saves the text of the screenbook, and links to the PNG files, into sbook.xml.

Screenbook Maker then looks in the bookshelf file for files beginning with sbx_ and ending with .xsl. These files are XSLT files. XSLT is a language that contains instructions for transforming XML (like the contents of sbooks.xml) into HTML or another format.

For each and every XSLT file that Screenbook Maker finds in the given bookshelf, Screenbook Maker transforms sbook.xml and stores the resulting output in a file with the same name as the XSLT file, but without the sbx_ prefix, and the .xsl suffix. If there is no other suffix in the resulting file name, Screenbook Maker adds the suffix .htm.

With Screenbook Maker Pro, you can remove this label or set it to be something else.

One benefit of not using a simple printer driver conversion means that Screenbook Maker is able to build a PDF structurally, including adding a table of contents, section title pages and metadata such as the Screenbook author and copyright information.

Another benefit of not using a printer driver based converter is that full size images can be embedded in the PDF file. Printer driver conversion basically captures what is on the screen. However,  when a large image is resized to fit into the PDF viewer on your monitor, it loses detail since the the area on your monitor is not large enough to display all of the pixels of the image. Printers have much higher resolution than monitors. When the PDF file is printed, the full image is available, not just the image viewable on your computer screen.
