I am publishing a new project using WebHelpPro. Everything published fine and it looks great. Now I need to find the URL so I can create my hyperlink to the project. Where can I find the URL?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Correct answer RoboColum_n_

    First, are you generating the WebHelpPro files to a local directory or to some web server? The launch point in either case would be:

    \wherever you're going to be putting the WebHelpPro files\project_name.htm

    So to test it locally, it would be in a path like: c:\projects\project_name\!SSL!\WebHelpPro\project_name.htm

    If you told it in your SSL properties to publish it to your webserver, it would look something like this:

    http://www.server_name.org/help/WebHelpPro/project_name.htm

    We do have a RoboHelp Server. Maybe I'm using the wrong name. I'm directing the link to the prject name.htm, not the lead page.htm. I'll try that. Thank you!

    Just making sure - lots of people think that the "Pro" version must be better ;>)

    I've been trying everything and this is still not creating a URL that works. Does this look remotely corre

    You would only use WebHelpPro if you're using RoboHelp Server. The lead .htm page is usually your_project_name.htm inside the project_name\!SSL!\ folder where you created the help.
