SYMPTOMS
You cannot print Help information from Microsoft Oceans for Windows.



CAUSE
Because the Options dialog box replaces the Help dialog box, it is not possible to print Help screens.



WORKAROUND
Two of the items from the Oceans Help menu can be printed by printing the associated text file found in the root directory on the Oceans CD-ROM.

The "Using the Options Menu" item can accessed by printing the Opthelp.txt file. The "Troubleshooting" item can be accessed by printing the Trouble.txt file. To print these text files, do the following:

Windows 95:
 * 1) Open Windows Explorer and find the files.
 * 2) Double-click the file.
 * 3) On the File menu, click Print.

Windows 3.x:
 * 1) Open File Manager, usually located in the Main program group and find the files.
 * 2) Double-click the file.
 * 3) On the File menu, click Print.

Other Help Printing Options
You can print the Using Microsoft Oceans help item and the About Microsoft Oceans help item by copying a screen image of the Window into a graphical editing program such as PaintBrush. To copy and print the screen image, do the following:
 * 1) Capture the entire Oceans Help topic to the Clipboard by pressing and holding-down the ALT key while you press the PRINT SCREEN key (ALT+PRINT SCREEN).
 * 2) Start Microsoft Paintbrush.
 * 3) Press and hold down the CTRL key while you press V (CTRl+V) to paste the contents of the Clipboard into the Paintbrush window.

NOTE: It may be necessary to crop the screen image because the ALT+PRINT SCREEN key combination copies the Help file selection plus other peripheral graphics on the screen to the Clipboard. Use the Pick tool to crop the image, adjust the picture size and eliminate unwanted screen elements.
 * 1) On the Paintbrush toolbar, click the Pick tool (crops) and select the Help menu item selection from the entire image.
 * 2) On the Edit menu, click Cut.
 * 3) On the File menu, click New, and then click No when asked if you want to keep current changes.
 * 4) On the Edit menu, click Paste. The cropped Help menu item appears.
 * 5) On the File menu, click Print, and then click OK.
