The Help for Finale is probably one of the most elaborate on the market.
There is IMHO one drawback: I miss a search function. While the index is very detailed it can't bring every reference.
An example: I didn't know how to remoce a page break. Page breaks are dealt with in chapter 35 "page layout tool" (I have a german vesion).
I can see there how to set a page break on page 35-29. And I find the reference to that in the Index.
How to turn it off is described at the begin of this chapter (page 35-3 in my case) and this item is not referenced.
I had to use Adobe Reader so search the dosument. Since this search goes over the hole partition it took about a quarter of an hour, before I had the references.

In other words: A full text search function over the hole lot of documents would be very helpfull.

Yours truely

Time to upgrade your Adobe Reader. Search capability is available.

I'm using the full version von Acrobat 6.0
Of course you can search but only within a hole partition. Or within the actual dociment. Finale's Help consists of about 40 documents.
There we are.

Or did I overlook soemthing?

Jeez, Kurt, don't you get it?

If the Finale user manual index were more complete and the manual itself covered all the issues, what need would there be for this forum? Coda built the flaws into the manual to promote a sense of community ...
