RH 9.0

I have (unfortunately) started with someone else's project which I have modified. I am told that I need to generate WebHelp Pro output (first time doing this) and that the main start .html file should be titled: 'help.html'.

For the life of me, I can't find where I can set the output file name. (this is probably so easy.) In the Generate dialog, when I type:

...path\help.html

under 'Output Folder and Start Page', I get a folder called 'help.html' and all the html files are in it. The start page is called something else.

How can I modify the name of the start page? (there are 11 files with this prefix, so I doubt renaming in Windows Explorer will work).

If I am not clear and you need more details, please let me know. Thanks so much.

The project name is the start page - if you need to change it to help.html, then your project should be called "help" - use the File > Rename Project option to change it.

BTW - you must be using RoboServer right? That's what the "Pro" designation refers to.

Is WebHelp Pro different in that respect? WebHelp's start page is the name of the project when created or as changed in the first page of the wizard. Changing the project name does not affect it.

Also RH will not apply HTML but HTM and I would be wary of changing it. No doubt your developers world will fall apart if they have to use help.htm rather than help.html but life can be tough.
