You can add shortcuts to programs and files that you frequently use by adding icons to the Tools window. This way, if you want to open a Microsoft Word document or edit an image in Paint Shop Pro, you can conveniently open the program without leaving the RoboHELP environment.
The quickest way to add new tools is by right-clicking in the Tools window and browsing to the executable file.
Open RoboHELP and click
the Tools tab.
Make sure the Tools tab is
visible (you might see if the window pane is very narrow).
Right-click in the Tools window and select New Tool.
Enter the name of the tool in Tool Name. This is the name that will appear with the icon.
(Optional) In Short Description, you can enter the purpose of the tool if you want. (This is only visible when Tool Properties dialog is open.)
In Application
or Document File, click to browse to
the file/folder of the program's executable file (.EXE). Once you've located
the file, click Open.
(Optional) In Tool
Help File, click to browse to the
file/folder of the program's Help file (.HLP or .CHM).
Click OK. The tool icon is added to the Tools window. Double-click the icon to launch the program.
