Is there a way to show the current URL for a WebHelp topic in the browser?

RoboHelp 11, WebHelp.

When I open the WebHelp project, the URL displays the start page for the Touchstone Help project: ..../Documentation/Touchstone/Content/Content.htm.

As I go to different pages in the Help, the URL never changes.

Our client consulting personnel often like to copy a URL to send to a client who has a question about a particular topic.

Is there a WebHelp setting that supports display of the current URL?

Thank you.

Hi, Jeff.

Internet Explorer 9.

I've got the pointer in the topic.

Right-clicking displays the following shortcut menu.

When I click "Create shortcut" (the only option with "shortcut" in the name), the following message appears.

After clicking Yes, the shortcut is on the desktop. The user must then right-click the URL, select Properties, copy the URL from the Web Document tab, paste it into an email, and send it.

Is this the process as you understand it?

Thanks.

Carol

No, just hover your mouse over the topic in the TOC – you should see a tooltip-like message appear at the bottom with the URL; right-click and copy the URL, paste wherever
