Question

Changing external links by baggaged files

Hello,

I'm a new user of RoboHelp.

I have generated a web help from a word document, correctly paginated, with titles and good styles.

In the word document, I have many links to external files, that can be displayed from the web help.

This works well, but the external files are link to a specific directory.

After generating this help, I would like the external files be embedded in the web help, so that they can be accessed from wherever.

So, I need to create baggaged files, and drop them to the link into the page.

Does it exist a way to generalise this action ? Because as I said previously, I've got many files to embeed in the web help.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Regards

Sylvain

Hello,

Thank your for your answer.

What I want is to change existing URL to baggaged files.


And I can't select URL's and tell the to "become baggaged files".

I'm using RoboHelp 6.0.

Thanks a lot

Regards

The point of baggage files is that they are INTERNAL to the project. Any link to them is therefore not to a URL but to the file that is included as part of the help. You have a want to maintain the files externally and link to them via a URL they can not be baggaged.

Hi Sylvain and welcome to the RH community.

You have to point to a file (or files) you want to add as baggage. You can multi-select files when you add them but that is the extent of any generalisation.
