Linking pages to secondary windows

If you are creating Microsoft HTML Help, topics can open in secondary windows from the Contents tab in the HTML Help viewer. When you add pages to the table of contents, you can link them to secondary windows that you create for the project. (Design the window and then follow the procedures below.)

To link a page to a secondary window:

  1. Click the TOC tab.

  2. Right-click the page and select Properties.

  3. Click the Advanced tab.

  4. From Window, select the name of the secondary window.

The destination assigned to this page will open in the window when users select it from the Contents tab.

Tips:

  • You can use secondary windows with books that link to single topics.

  • You can also link pages to frames that are part of framesets you've created for your project. The Advanced tab includes a Frame drop-down list for selecting frames and linking them to TOC items.
