Question

Is it possible to create field-level context-sensitive help for WebHelp

I am using the Technical Communication Suite 2 and am pretty new to RoboHelp.  I am a little confused about whether I can create CSH at the field level using Robohelp. The documentation is not very clear. It does say that I can't create "What's This?" help, which I don't want to do anyway. I just want to be able to call my help for each field instead of at the window or dialog level. Can I not just create a map ID for each 'field topic'?

Any info you can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes you just call the topic you have written for the field. It can open as just the topic with a Show link (you can change the text of that in the LNG file) or you can open it in the tri pane window.

See Calling Help on my site. A method of open a topic in the tri pane window using URLs is described there.
