Project Settings dialog - Index tab

Use the Index tab to customize the index used with Microsoft HTML Help. For example, you can launch the index in a custom window or frame and change the default font used to display the keywords. If you are merging indexes from external .CHM files, you select the binary index option at this tab. You can also switch between creating index file keywords (.HHK) and topic keywords (.HTM) from the Index tab.

Note: Custom index settings are currently only supported with Microsoft HTML Help.

Default Window: Selects a custom window to use with the index. When users select keywords from the index, the topic associated with the keyword is displayed in the custom window.

Default Frame: Selects a custom frame to use with the index. When users select keywords from the index, the topic associated with the keyword is displayed in the frame. With frames, the entire frameset must be open first for the topic to appear in the individual frame.

Font: Displays the name of the current font used to display the list of keywords.

Select Font: Selects the default font to use for displaying the keywords. Currently, font type and size can be specified.

Default Font: Resets the font to the generic (default) font (MS Sans Serif).

Note: Custom fonts are not supported with binary indexes.

Binary Index: Merges keywords from external .CHM files so the current project includes them in the index. This kind of index is always generated when projects include keyword link controls or topic keywords. Binary indexes are automatically sorted.
