Viewing Your Document's Outputs

Once you have published your document's outputs, you'll naturally want to check them (like any proud parent).

To view your document's outputs, you and your readers need to have the correct run time components for each output format installed on your computers.

In particular:

• To view JavaHelp output you'll need the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
• To view Oracle Help for Java output, you'll need the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

There are many ways of viewing your outputs after publishing.

To View a Selected Book

• From the Library Explorer, right-click a Book, choose View Published, then the output. The most recently published version of any outputs are listed with the date/time published.

  -or-

• From the Book Editor menu, choose Publish > View Published, then the output.

  -or-

• From the Author-it main menu, choose Publish > View Published, then the output for the currently open Book. This option is disabled if there is no book open.

5. Smile, then note any changes that need to be made before you release the document on an unsuspecting world.
