Reusing HTML Help controls

One of the best features of HTML Help controls is their portability. You can copy and paste them into other topics and change any number of them to suit the needs of the topics that use them.

To reuse an HTML Help control:

  1. Open the topic in the WYSIWYG Editor that contains the control you want to reuse.

  2. Right-click the control and select Copy.

  3. Open the topic that needs the control.

  4. Right-click and select Paste. The control is added to the topic. You can change its properties if you need to customize it for the topic.

To change a control's properties:

  1. Double-click the control. The dialog for changing its properties opens.

  2. Use the available tabs and make your changes.
