How to make a link open in another frame in RH 7?

Hello! In RoboHelp 7 I am doing a prototype for my work group using framesets. We want a navigation pane on the left side of every topic. I have learned how to create framesets and set the left and right frames to different topics. I cannot find information anywhere on how to do one thing. One, how do I set the links in the left navigation frame to open in the right (main) frame? Sounds like a simple thing, but I can't figure out how. Also, is it true that a person cannot see the code to the frameset? I can't find a way to do that, either. Thanks for anyone's help!

    Hi there

    When you created your Frameset you likely gave each frame a name. This part is very important and I'm not sure RoboHelp would even allow you to create the Frameset without naming each frame.

    So when you create your links, you target the Frame by clicking the drop-down and choosing the frame name.

    Thanks so much. I didn't think of putting the target instructions in the link, I had thought they were supposed to go in the Frame. Thanks!!
