A new ToolBook 9 LiveXtension is now available: Product Launch Switch. When you double-click on a .TBK file, should your file open in Assistant or Instructor? If you only have Assistant installed or only have Instructor installed, then there is no doubt about which will open. However if you have both Assistant and Instructor installed, by default the one that is used to open your file is whichever one you most recently installed. This utility will permit you to specify which one should open by default when you double-click your file.

ToolBook Assistant 9.01 and ToolBook Instructor 9.01 have both been completed. This includes the Trial versions as well.
DETAILS
Specifically, this means that both products have been sent to manufacturing to have CD ROMs made and will then head over to the warehouse for shipping.
Customers who have a current Support or Maintenance contract will automatically be shipped 9.01 when it is ready for shipping. Sorry I can’t offer any specifics on when you might receive your copy. If you have questions about this, please contact your ToolBook sales rep.
Those customers who do not have a current Support or Maintenance contract, who own ToolBook Instructor 9.0, can obtain the 9.01 CD ROM for a nominal fee. Call ToolBook Sales at 866-SMTOTAL.
DOWNLOADABLE UPDATE
As with previous versions we do plan on offering a downloadable updater which will update a ToolBook Instructor 9.0 installation to 9.01. This updater is anticipated to be available by Christmas and will be easily accessible from the ToolBook FAQ at:

I wanted to let you know that we have updated our TBK Tracker Learning Management System (LMS) to support Flash content. As many of you know, TBK Tracker manages off-line content deployed via CD or on a Local Area Network. ToolBook and Flash courses can be stored in the same database. ToolBook courses are started with a “front end book.” Flash courses are started by launching a .NET “projector” that takes care of all the heavy lifting. Content created with our Training StudioT works out of the box. For other Flash content, there are some documented calls to make.

This tool permits you to move a range of pages to another location within your ToolBook file. For example, lets say that after creating your 180 page book you realize that pages 115-175 really should be shown right after page 12. Moving these manually would be very tedious. This tool will move the entire page range in a matter of seconds.
