Is it possible for Robohelp to automatically generate a back to top of page button whenever I create a long topic?

You could handle this by use of a master page. This could be setup with a bookmark (e.g. called "top") and a hyperlink at the bottom linked to it. If both the bookmark and the link were part of the master page body, this would do exactly what you want. Then you just need to assign the master page to the required topics.

Hello,

I have a question about this. When I add a bookmark named Top to my master page, and then a hyperlink to link to it, how can I get the bookmark to appear for selection in the Hyperlink dialog box? The master page is not considered to be a file in my list of files, so the bookmark does not appear in the "Select destination" list. There's no "Link to: Bookmark" choice. I feel like I'm missing something obvious...

Thanks,

Alexandra

Welcome to our community, Alexandra.

The simplest way to do Back To Top is to omit creating any bookmark. Then when you prepare to link, link only to # (pound or hash symbol).

This causes the page to simply reload from the top.

Cheers... Rick
