File Version - Is it possible to assign this attribute to a compiled *.chm file?

Hi Brendan,

I think using a topic template is the best method. You can assign the template to multiple help topics in one action.

Here's what I do:

1. Right-click on the Templates folder and select "New Topic Template."

2. From the View menu, select "Footer." The text box for the footer appears in the template.

3. Type the text you want to use as the footer. Format the footer text as you wish (alignment, font, pt. size, etc.)

4. Save the template as a recognizable name, such as "Copyright_Blurb_projectXX."

5. In RoboHelp Explorer, click the "Topics" tab to view all help topics for the project in the main window.

6. Press the "Ctrl" key and select all topics that you want to assign the template to.

7. After you've selected the topics, right-click and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu. The Topic Properties window appears.

8. Click the "General" tab, then from the Template drop-down list, select the template you want to assign to the topic (for example, "Copyright_Blurb_projectXX").

9. Click "OK" to save your changes. RoboHelp assigns the template to all the help topics you selected.

Later on, if you need to change the footer, you just change it once by updating the topic template. All help topics that are assigned that topic template will automatically be updated with the change.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply back, Rick! I'm going to use the footer-in-a-topic-template method.
