How can I prevent breadcrumbs from being used on the first page?

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of the technical communication suite to produce a WebHelp

layout from a framemaker book. Thanks to all the help I've received so far it's proceeding

well, although slowly.

II have an initia l'home'  page, that isn't present in the TOC, just with a program logo, a company

logo and a helpdesk address. How can I stop breadcrumbs from appearing on this page?

I'm happy for this to be the Home page and to keep the word Home, and it is a separate

document in the linked framemaker book.

Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best wishes,

Karen

Hi Karen

To accomplish this you need to define a Master Page. Insert a Breadcrumbs Placeholder in the Master Page and associate the Master page only with the topics where you wish to see Breadcrumbs. Then you ensure you clear the option for globally applying Breadcrumbs in your Single Source Layout recipe.

Cheers... Rick

There may be a way to accomplish this suppression of breadcrumbs from with RH, but I'd be looking at editing the output HTML page (found in your !SSL!\WebHelp\projectname\ folder) to manually remove the coding for the breadcrumbs.
