Can I have a Text Search in HTML Help output?

[hollicooper]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to Robohelp and while testing the possible output methods I found that there is no internal text search function available for the Microsoft HTML Help (.chm) file.

Does anyone know if it is possible to enable this function?

Thank you

Holli

Hi Holli

Perhaps try creating a brand new window?

Make sure Microsoft HTML Help is your Primary Layout by right-clicking it in the Single Source Layouts recipe box.

Then open the Project Set-up pod and create a new window.

Then in the Single Source Layout recipe, make sure you choose the new window you just created.

Recompile and check.

Cheers... Rick

Hello Rick,

Thank you for your help. I've given that a go but still no search tab. Its really strange that it just doesn't want to work in this one project!

All the best
