Linking books and pages to custom windows

From the Contents tab displayed in the Microsoft HTML Help viewer, users can open topics in secondary windows that you design. If the topic that opens includes links to other topics, these other topics will also be displayed in the secondary window.

Tip: Design the window first and then use the following steps to link topics to it.

To link a book or page to a custom window:

  1. Click the TOC tab in the left-hand pane.

  2. Right-click the book or page icon and select Properties.

  3. Click the Advanced tab.

  4. From Window, select the name of the custom window that should display the topic.

Notes:

  • Microsoft HTML Help currently does not support linking to custom or secondary windows from the topic content. However, you can create links to popup windows. For details, see Opening links in popup windows.
