Index file keywords are keywords that are saved in the index file (.HHK)
and not in individual HTML topics. The Index Designer identifies index
file keywords with a key icon .
You can use index file keywords with compiled Microsoft HTML Help, WebHelp, JavaHelp, and Oracle Help.
If you are using index file keywords with Microsoft HTML Help, you can merge index files from other HTML Help projects.
You can use index file keywords with keyword link controls.
You can cross-reference index file keywords to other index file keywords (to create keywords that jump to other keywords in the index.)
Index file keywords can link to local HTML topics, bookmarks, URLs, and the topic can be displayed in the default Help window as well as custom windows and frames.
If you are not creating a binary index and there are no topic keywords in the project, you can sort the keywords in whatever order you like.
When you remove a topic from the project, the keywords remain in the index as long as they are used by other topics. You also have the option of removing or retaining the keywords regardless of whether other topics use the keywords.
If you import topics into projects, you have to assign index keywords to them.
If you are merging index files from other HTML Help projects, the keywords are automatically sorted and you cannot rearrange the order.
When you remove an index file keyword from the index, all topics that were assigned to it no longer include it as a keyword.
If you remove a topic from a project and you do not select to remove its references, index file keywords used by the topic are marked as unused in the index (unless they are used with other topics). If these keywords are not used by other keywords, your project includes broken links.
