When you create text-only topic files, you create the topics and write the content at the same dialog. If you are using map files supplied by your developer, import them into the project before you begin.
Click the Project tab.
Open the Context-Sensitive folder.
Right-click the Text-Only Topic Files folder and select Create/Import Text-Only Topic File.
In File name, enter a name for the text-only topic file. If you imported a map file, use the same file name for the text-only topic file. For example, if the map file is pizza.h, use “pizza” as the text-only topic file name (the .TXT extension is automatically assigned to this file).
Click Open.
Select a topic ID for the first text-only topic to create. Use one of the following methods:
If you are auto-creating a map file: In Topic ID, enter the ID for the topic. Topic IDs typically start with a prefix such as ID_, followed by text that identifies the field or control. Talk to your developer if you are unsure of what to enter in this field.
After you enter the topic ID, the program assigns a map number for it. The Map # field displays (Auto) to indicate that the program is automatically generating map numbers. The first number assigned is 1 or the lowest possible number (if other map files are used in the project). You can manually change the numbers by typing directly in this field.
If you imported a map file: The dialog displays a list of topic IDs and map numbers. Select the appropriate topic ID from the list. The Topic ID and Map # fields display the selections. Example:
In Topic Text, type the content for the topic (drag the mouse across the default text and start typing to replace it). This text is displayed in a popup window when users request help for the field or control in the dialog box. Example:
Click Add/Update. The text-only topic is created and added to the .TXT file.
Repeat steps 6 – 9 or each topic to create.
Save and compile your project to update the .CHM file.
