Subject:Problem Solved: RoboHELP Secondary Windows From:Kathryn Marshall <kmarshall -at- MODACAD -dot- COM> Date:Sat, 30 May 1998 12:29:55 -0700
Thanks to everyone for the quick responses regarding secondary Windows
in RoboHELP.
My problem is solved. As I suspected, I DO have to reassign secondary
windows in the TOC. There is no automated way to do this in RoboHELP.
But you can open the TOC (".cnt" file) in Notepad and use find/replace
to mass assign secondary windows.
Ben Palmer pointed out that assigning default windows in RoboHELP
Explorer only "means that when you create a jump FROM this topic, it
will by default include a reference to the secondary window. The choice
of a window
is NOT a property of a topic but rather of an event (like hyperlink or
macro)."
