Question

Why do my browse sequences not display in web help?

Browse sequences show in html help but not web help, web help pro, flash help, or flash help pro.  What do I need to to.

Does it have anything to do with the "Publish" item being greyed out in my single source

items?

    These forms of help do not show the browse sequence in the same way as CHMs. Take a look at the page below.

    Wow! Thank you.

    I did not expect such a prompt reply with the help I needed.

    I had seen the "forward" and "back" browse buttons but did not

    realize that they were them!

    I thought they were redundant duplicates of the browser back and

    forward buttons.

    I am disappointed that the web help display doesn't allow me to

    display the various "browse sequences" that have been set up.

    Also, you never know you have landed on a browse sequence topic

    because the buttons are not visibly different when active or inactive.

    And you cannot select a Subject (topic theme) and browse the other

    topics in that sequence. In the chum, this was a drop down list of

    the available browse sequences that you could examine. And you could

    see a display of where in the sequence you were. Can web help make

    anything like that or do I need to be creative and make a browse

    sequence category in the TOC myself? That's my only idea.

    If my reply is being read, thank you very much.

    I have other concerns that I can't find answers to about the RoboHelp

    server. What is it? What would I need it for? Do I have it and

    not know it? Is it different software?

    It doesn't seem to be required to distribute a webhelp system.

    I have people use a link to our web server and start on a particular

    page. All other pages are accessible but I can't "publish" to a

    server. I'm not sure how to do it or why.

    Thanks.

    If that is what you want, you should wish for it. The more people who request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

    The rest of your post would be better in a new thread in the appropriate category. See "Which category should I post in?"
