Chapter 2 Defining Add-On Instructions
This is an example of the Extended Description Text field in the Help tab on the
Add-On Instruction Definition Editor. This area lets you create directions on
how to use and troubleshoot your instruction. The Instruction Help Preview
window shows how your text will look as generated instruction help.
Tip: When you are typing your text into the Extended Description Text field, you can use returns and tabs in
the field to format the text, and if you copy and paste text into the field tabs are preserved.
