Hi -

I want to share my RoboHelp project with external users that do not have access to my company's internal server if I publish there. Is there a way to create a link to my project that I can just share with other people?

Thanks!

Welcome to our community

Unfortuantely there isn't really a way to do that. At least, not a way I'm aware of.

You might consider outputting your project as a Microsoft HTML Help file. You should be able to easily do that. Just choose to create Microsoft HTML Help and not WebHelp, FlashHelp or whatever it is you have created. This would then provide a single file in .CHM format that you would be able to send to those folks.

Cheers... Rick

Hi, thanks for the response. I went ahead and generated the Microsoft HTML Help file. How do I view this file? Nothing comes up when I generate it.

Hello again

Are you clicking the "view result" link? If so, the CHM should simply open. However, there are a host of things that can go wrong along the way and to figure out what may be happening we need to ask all sorts of questions.

Did you click View Result after it finished? If so, what happened? An error? Nothing? What?

Where are you attempting to compile the help? When you look at the properties of your Single Source Layout recipe, where are you pointing the output folder to? What is the file name?

Are you able to open and view other CHM files? Do you know what a CHM file is?
