Does anyone know if you can add an Outlook .oft file in a RoboHelp topic?

Thank you. Yes, the objective is to open an email message with content. I currently have RoboHelp 2017.

See Snippets on my site. The Email section has some solutions.

See www.grainge.org for free RoboHelp and Authoring information.

I don't see any reason why you can't link to it or add it as baggage and link to that, but it probably won't behave very well?

EDIT: hit the wrong keys by accident and posted too early

I did a quick test just linking to my outlook file and it asked if I wanted to download or run, I clicked run, and it said there was no program associated with the file type.

What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks, Amebr. I get the same result; however, when I generate an HTML5 layout and move it to my server, the link doesn't work. It says webpage cannot be found.

An OFT file is a template. Is the objective to open an email in Outlook with some content? If so, you need to tell us which version of RoboHelp you are using.

Please see the Sticky Topics and always start a new thread with that information. It can affect the answer, as it does here.
