Using local manual
I have followed the provided instructions and downloaded the manual zip file. I have unzipped it so a "Help" folder appears under the program filesx86audacity path and still the program tells me I don't have the help file loaded. I am unsure how to install it properly. Any help will be appreciated.
Re: Using local manual
If you install Audacity with the recommended installer, the manual is included and can be found in the Help menu.

Re: Using local manual
If I went to the site, clicked download and followed the prompts, open Audacity and press help. The result is a screen saying it is not there, should I uninstall the program and try reinstalling or is there a solution that uses the recommended 7zip, which I have also loaded. My experience is limited, and I apologize for the trouble.

The Help will only be present if you downloaded "Audacity 2.0.6 installer" from http://audacityteam.org/download/windows.blrIII wrote:If I went to the site, clicked download and followed the prompts, open Audacity and press help. The result is a screen saying it is not there
Reinstalling the "Audacity 2.0.6 installer" from http://audacityteam.org/download/windows should fix the problem. It should be easier than downloading the Manual separately.blrIII wrote:should I uninstall the program and try reinstalling or is there a solution that uses the recommended 7zip, which I have also loaded.
If you prefer to download it separately please follow these instructions:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/un ... anual.html.
You can also read the same Manual online (when you have an active internet connection):
