1For Microsoft HTML Help, the Contents and Index tabs are added or removed as a pair. If your project does not include a TOC, the Contents tab is not displayed, even if the feature is selected. This also applies to the Index tab.
2The Glossary tab is displayed if you create an online glossary (using the Glossary Designer) or import one from another project. Currently, this feature is only available with Microsoft HTML Help.
3For Microsoft HTML Help, you select an extra settings option to include advanced full-text search with the Search tab. For WebHelp, this feature is automatically built into full-text search.
Tip: For details about the features of these tabs, see About tabs.
