Before you create a new topic, do the following:
Decide on a name for the topic: If it uses more than one word, use underscores in place of spaces. This enables TOC books and pages to synchronize with topic content displayed in the right-hand pane of the viewer. For more information, see Saving file names with underscores.
Decide where to save the file: If you are saving the file in a custom folder, check to see if you have Empty Folders selected from the View menu (accessible from the Project tab). When this feature is selected, the Project Manager displays folders that do not contain files.
Click the Project tab.
Open the HTML Files (Topics) folder and select the custom folder.
Click New
Topic .
In Topic Title, type the title.
By default, the topic's file name is based on the title.
To use a different file name, change the text in File Name.
Click OK. The new topic is created and opens in the WYSIWYG Editor so you can start working with it.
Note: You can create new topics using a different HTML editor if it's installed on your computer. For more information, see Adding or changing HTML editors.
Tip: You can click other tabs from the Create Topic Wizard dialog to set up properties for the topic including keywords, ALink names, appearance attributes, status, and build tags.
