Is it possible to set up an index such that a keyword links not to the begining topic, but to a bookmark in the topic.

Hallo all,

Using RH8.0.2.208 to create CHM, Windows XP SP3.

When I have an index entry pointing to several topics and I click the index keyword in the CHM I get a popup listing the topics, and can select the one I want. However if the index entries point to bookmarks the popup shows the index keyword.

Here is the Index in RH8

This is the popup in the CHM

This is part of the HHK (index) file

I tried editing the HHK file with Notepad

but it made no difference at all (no sign of the phrase "Test Text")

Is this a RoboHelp problem, a CHM problem, or an NL_Derek problem?

Hope someone can help,

--- Derek

Things I check include the case sensitivity of the bookmark in the index file and whether the index is binary.

Hi there

In addition to what Colum offered, note that you really shouldn't have to resort to hand editing the HHK file at all. You should be able to do it right from inside RoboHelp. Just click on the entry in the Topics for area and change the text there in the editor.

Cheers... Rick

Welcome to our community, Jacob

Not only is it possible, it's quite easy!

Just insert the bookmark at the location, save the topic, then insert the reference to the bookmarked spot in your Index.

Just to add to Rick's post, if Printed Documentation is important to you, index words linked to bookmarks will not appear in the printed document.
