How to add search tab in the .chm file

Hi All,

All these days, I was using RH -5 to create the .chm file. Today, I moved onto RH -9. The chm file had the Search option enabled automatically in RH-5. But in RH-9, Glossary option alone is available and I am not able to add Search tab adjacent to the Index tab. Please refer to the screenshot for more clarification.

Please help me to solve this as the client would expect Search tab for sure.

Regards,

Lata

Hi Lata

What you are showing in your image is a mismatch. The tab says Glossary but the contents of the tab show Search.

I think in this case I would suggest attempting to define a new window with the attributes you need. Then configure that window as the default for the layout you are using.

You define the window by:

1. Ensure Microsoft HTML Help is the default layout.

2. Click View > Pods > Project Set-up and you should see the windows there.

Cheers... Rick
