Does anyone know if you can add an Outlook .oft file in a RoboHelp topic?

Correct answer Peter Grainge

Thank you. Yes, the objective is to open an email message with content. I currently have RoboHelp 2017.


See Snippets on my site. The Email section has some solutions.

I don't see any reason why you can't link to it or add it as baggage and link to that, but it probably won't behave very well?

EDIT: hit the wrong keys by accident and posted too early

I did a quick test just linking to my outlook file and it asked if I wanted to download or run, I clicked run, and it said there was no program associated with the file type.

What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks, Amebr. I get the same result; however, when I generate an HTML5 layout and move it to my server, the link doesn't work. It says webpage cannot be found.

    Stefan, is there a useful site you can recommend using to update codes? For instance, the paragraph format is exactly how I want it, but I'd like to change some of the font size and color on certain lines.


    What Stefan has given you is a line feed which Outlook understands. It can be found at HTML URL Encoding Reference amongst other places.

    I rather doubt you can apply formatting within the URL that opens Outlook. It may be possible but I couldn't find anything.
