No Help menu in FlexiPDF 2022

[Paulo-Brazil]

In FlexiPDF 2022, in the upper toolbar with the menus, there is not a Help menu, nor can I find a Help page inside the File menu (or any other menu). There is not an About page, where I could see the version number of the software.

In FlexiPDF 2022, help menu is there on the right top corner with '?' sign. Please check the screenshot of the same below in which you will be able to find all the relevant options like user manual, about and update etc.

Why did you remove the word "Help" from the toolbar menu and replace it with a question mark? If you are going to provide a text-based menu (which I support), then menu choices should be presented in text.

This is already a strike against the new version -- a good reason NOT to upgrade.

No ribbon-based program uses the word "Help" there. They all have a question mark in this position.

Yes, I see now, the question mark at the rightmost point on the page... thank you very much.

But this of course begs the question: why the Help menu wasn't maintained in FlexiPDF 2022, as it happens most most usually in Windows programs? Why to change a feature which users are already well acquainted with?

[martin-k]

Because it is the standard for ribbon-based programs.

Ribbon-based programs with a ? for help: Windows 10, Windows 11, SoftMaker Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook.

Ribbon-based programs with a "Help" menu entry for help: none that I am aware of.

Word 2016 does not have a question mark. It has the word "Help" in the toolbar.

Also Excel 2016, Access 2016, Powerpoint 2016, and Publisher 2016.

My recollection was wrong. It doesn't have a classic "Help" menu entry either, but an edit field that lets you enter text what you want help for.

Here you can see how Microsoft specifies it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... md-ribbons
