You can open any Help topic file, whether or not you have used the Help Authoring Templates to create it.
To open a Help topic file
1.1.From the File menu, choose Open.
The Open dialog box appears.
2.2.If the file is on a different drive, select the drive you want from the Drives box.
If the drive you want to change to does not appear in the Drives list box, it may be a network drive to which you are not connected. First 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.
Windows displays the names of all files in that directory that are the type selected in the List Files Of Type box. To select a different file type, use the List Files Of Type list box.
4.4.In the File Name box, double-click the name of the file you want to open.
Or select the file and choose OK. (The default extension is .RTF, so initially only files of that type will appear in the list box.)
The current directory is represented by the open folder icon.
Instead of using the File Name and Directories list boxes to add a file, you can type the complete path in the File Name box and click OK.
