Adding Topic Files to the Help Project

When you create a Help project file, you add all the topic files that you want included in the build of the Help file.

To add a topic file to the Help project file

1.1.From the Edit menu, choose Add New Or Existing File.

The Add New Or Existing File dialog box appears.

Note The Add New Or Existing File command defines the [FILES] section of the Help project file.

2.2.If the file is on a different drive, select the drive you want from the Drives box.

If the drive to which you want to change does not appear in the Drives box, it may be a network drive to which you are not connected. Connect to the drive, and then use this dialog box option.

3.3.In the Directories box, double-click the directory you want.

Or press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key to select the directory, and then press ENTER.

The current directory initially is the same directory as the currently selected file in the Help Project Editor window.

4.4.In the File Name box, double-click the name of the file you want to add.

Or select the file, and then choose OK. (The default extension is .RTF, so initially only files of that type will appear in the list box.)

Or type the filename in the box, and then choose OK. You can enter a full path in this box, including drive and directories.

The new file is added at the end of the list of files in the Help Project Editor window. If the selected file does not exist, the Help Project Editor asks you if you want to create a new, untitled RTF topic file based on the currently selected authoring template. Choose OK to create the file, or Cancel if you don’t want to create the file.
