Previewing topics

The best way to test your topics is to preview them — they look and function as if you are viewing them from the viewer. From the View window, you can click and go to links, select related topics, access frames and forms, use HTML Help controls, test browse sequences, and work with any other feature that is available in the topic.

When you preview topics, they are displayed in a separate window by default. This window is always on top of the program window, and you can move it around and resize it. While you edit the topic in WYSIWYG or TrueCode, you can refresh the View window to show the latest changes.

You can also preview topics below the topic list. This viewing pane is stationary — you can resize the viewing area, but it cannot be positioned anywhere else in the program window.
