Subject:Hyperlink BUG in RoboHelp 5 From:"Tamminga, Ernie" <et -at- DSC -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 6 Nov 1997 17:41:18 -0800
We're just getting ready to ship our first product using RoboHelp 5.
Here's a "heads-up" regarding a surprising problem, discovered when we
went the "final step", generating HTML-based help from the RoboHelp5
source project.
This is a copy of a message I just sent to Blue Sky's technical support
folks...
=================================================
In RoboHelp 5 I used SHED to create hotspots in a graphic, linking the
graphic to about a dozen different topics. The "made" project works
properly when I run it in WinHelp format.
I then generated HTML help.
The hyperlinks got all messed up; now every hotspot in the graphic links
to the SAME topic.
Is there a fix in the works for this bug? This is an URGENT one, for
us.
