Dear Sir,

I am using robohelp 7 and my project output is Webhelp, my problem is that I need to put a link of an external html file in my the project TOC.

and as long as this external file is modified in its originial project, the modification should be displayed every where it is attached.

putting an hyperlink of this project inside the topic is OK but putting the hyperlink in the TOC is the problem.

thank you..

Ahlam

Hi there

Should be pretty simple and straightforward.

Add a page and configure it to point to the file.

Thank your for your reply but you did not get what I meant.

my file is an Html file that is created in robohelp in a different project.

Hi there

Indeed it does look like I missed what you wanted. Which begs the question. What do you really want?

What I suggested would work perfectly if your other RoboHelp project exists as WebHelp on a server location. If that's the case, you simply need to insert the path to the file.

So why don't you take a moment and provide us with some more information.

Things we will likely need to know in order to provide a reasonably intelligent answer that may help you:

You already advised us you are using RoboHelp 7. Check

You advised you are using WebHelp output. Check

Where does that output ultimately exist? Is it on a server somewhere or do you install it on each PC that uses your system?

Cheers... Rick

I will clarify more:

Assume I have [Project 1] with the following topics: topic 1, topic 2, topic 3

and in [Project 2] I need to put Topic 1 from the first project in the TOC

remember my project type is Webhelp

thanks.
