Question

Change hyperlink display option settings

Hello,

I'm using Robohelp HTML 9. We have just decided that all our hyperlinks to pdfs need to open in a new window. However, previously this was not a standard, so not all of our hyperlinks open in a new window.

Is there a way to change the default settings for display options of all hyperlinks within a project to "New Window."?

I know the slow method is to go through each topic, and change hyperlink properties for each and every external link.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tas

Sorry but you cannot change the default behaviour.

Thanks Peter. I had a feeling that's what the response would be, but wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.

So it looks like my only solution is to go back through all the hyperlinks in the different topics, and change the hyperlink properties.

Yes unless you have a developer who can write a regular expression to do it. If you do, back up first.
