Notes:

  • If your project includes browse sequences, the browse sequence bar is displayed above the content pane on the right. The browse sequence bar includes a drop-down list of browse sequences, navigation buttons and a graphical display of browse sequence topic icons. For more information, see Enabling browse sequence functionality.

  • For Microsoft HTML Help to work properly, install Internet Explorer 4.x or later. (Internet Explorer 5 is included with RoboHELP — simply install Internet Explorer 5 from the CD when you install RoboHELP.)

  • The HTML Help viewer is not designed for WebHelp, JavaHelp, or Oracle Help. WebHelp is designed to be viewed with Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, JavaHelp should be viewed in the JavaHelp viewer, and Oracle Help is designed for the Oracle Help viewer.
