To reduce the size of the built Help file, you can specify the level of compression, or you can use no compression during the build.
To specify the level of compression
1.1.From the Edit menu, choose Compression.
The Compression dialog box appears.
2.2.Select the level of compression you want.
| Select | To specify |
| None | No compression |
| Medium | Medium compression (approximately 40 percent) |
| High | High compression (approximately 50 percent) |
If you are using the 3.0 Help compiler to build the file, the Medium compression option is dimmed.
Note The Compression option buttons define the COMPRESS option for the Help project file.
3.3.If you want the Help compiler to use the keyphrase table from a previous build of the Help file, select the Use Old Keyphrase File check box.
Use an existing keyphrase file to speed up the build process; to achieve maximum compression, however, don’t reuse the old keyphrase file.
The check box for using the old keyphrase file is dimmed unless the compression level is set to High.
Note This check box defines the OLDKEYPHRASE option for the Help project file.
4.4.Choose OK.
