Assigning default topics

All projects have a default topic that opens in the viewer whenever the Help system is started. If you do not specify a default topic, the program uses the first topic in the table of contents as the default. You can assign any topic in your project as the default topic. It does not have to be included in the table of contents nor does it have to contain keywords.

To assign a default topic:

  1. From the File menu, select Project Settings.

  2. Click the Compile tab.

  3. Click Select (right side of Default Topic).

  4. From the list of topics, select the one to use and click OK. It is displayed in Default Topic.

  5. Click OK to save the new settings.
