How do You Create chm files?

[catdunn]

I'm a newbie, can't you tell 😉

I generated my project using WebHelp, don't see any .chm files.  I made sure my Folder Options>Files and Folders>Hidden files and folders show hidden.

Are chm files automatically created when you generate your project or?????

If you want a CHM file, you'll have to generate your output slightly differently from WebHelp. If you look in your Single Source Layouts you'll see one called Microsoft HTML Help. This is the layout that creates a CHM file.

Thanks!

I generated at Microsoft HTML Help.  When I look up the properties for that single source, it shows my Output Folder and File Name as:

C:\Documents and Settings\dunnca\Desktop\Test\FoodShowApplicationUserGuide.chm

But I do not see the .chm file(s) in the above location????

Plus, I do not see the Glossary I had created that does show up when I generate the project as WebHelp.

Any suggestions?

OK, my bad, I found the .chm file.

But I'm still looking for suggestions on why my Glossary does not display when I generate my project as a Microsoft HtML Help.

The glossary displays when generated as WebHelp.

You'll have to make sure it's turned on in your Window definition. I'm not sure which version of RH you are using, but it should be somewhere in your Project pod. Right-click on the window that is being used for the chm and select Properties and tick Glossary in the Tri-Pane Tabs and Windows section.

If you can't find it, post back with the exact version of RH you are using and someone with the correct version can provide exact details.

You also need to ensure you have the HHACTIVEX.DLL file installed and registered in both your and your end users PCs.
