Testing hyperlinks

Use the Preview feature to view topics and test links. With Preview, you do not need to generate your project to test links. It displays the topic in much the same way that users see it from the viewer. You can even revise the content of the topic and click the title bar in the preview window to refresh the content.

To test links in the Preview window:

  1. Click the Topics tab to open the Topic List.

  2. Right-click the topic and select View. The topic opens in the preview window.

  3. Click a link in the topic. The window is updated to display the destination.

Tips:

  • Depending on what is selected from the Options dialog (General tab), the topic will either be displayed in a separate window that is always on top of the program or in a preview pane below the topic list.

  • To return to the previous topic, right-click inside the preview window, and select Back.
