Hi, I am building a winhelp2000 project (Context Sensitive) in RH7 for word. It is meant for an application built in Delphi. I saw the expanding text option in RH7 for html but couldn't find anything similar in RH for word. I want to use that feature in my project.

If I create my project (as a .CHM project) using RH for html, I am not able to create extra language map ids for Delphi (.PAS files). Can anybody pls tell me if we have that facility in RH for html.

If no, then is there any way of building the expanding text part in RH for html and then importing and using it in RH for word ? I think we can use a .CHM project with Delphi.

Always best to keep unrelated questions as separate posts. I can answer your dropdown question but not your map id question.

The dropdown option does not exist in RH for Word and I am not aware of any workaround. The suggestion of using RH HTML will not be practical. The method relies on javascript and because you are working in RH for Word, you would have to add that in the output. Your output is a CHM file so you cannot do that. Even if you were using webhelp, you would have to add the javascript back in every time you build the help. It is a non starter.
