Is it possible to link a topic from another help file?

I apologized if topic has been discussed/answered. I was
wondering if it is possible to link a topic from another help file?
So, basically my client has a help file .chm that was created by
someone else. I am brought in to create another help file. so,
basically for the help file that i'm creating a topic call vacation
hours but this topic is already in the previous help file instead
of including that in the new help file can i create some see also
link to this topic in the previous help file and the topic vacation
hours from the previous help file display once someone click on the
link. please let me if this possible and how i can do this.
thank in advance
bob

Hi, Bob, and welcome,
Yes, you can create links from one .chm file to another. The
HTML syntax is as follows:
<a
href="TargetHelpFile.chm::/path_to/TargetTopic.htm">Link
text</a>
For example:
<a href="htmlhelp.chm::/topics/chmweb.htm">Click here
for more information</a>
To ensure that you're specifying exactly the right path
information to the target topic:
1) Open the target help file.
2) Display the required topic.
3) Right-click it and then, on the context menu, select
Properties.
In the resulting properties dialog box, you can copy the path
information out of the Address field and abbreviate it
appropriately (you need the name of the target .chm file and
everything that follows it).
For this type of link to work, the target help file must be
in the same folder as your source help file or in the Windows Help
folder, or it must be registered under the following key in the
Windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help

Webhelp RH8: TOC book not linking to topic

Hi (again),
I seem to have another little issue.
In generating our helpsystem, we would like to have books that display general information when clicked and also display the subsequent topics. That all works fine, I link a topic to the TOC book and it displays the contents of the selected page.
However, when I only have a book (no topics), linking a topic does not work. In the output it displays as a page. Is there a way I can have a book linked to a topic while there are no other topics in that book?

Thanks RoboColum(n) for your pointer. Due to time limitations I could only look at it briefly and give it one try. Redirecting didn't work in this instance. I have a few redirect pages which work fine but so far I haven't managed to get a book to display when there is only one page in that book. For now I have avoided the problem by having an empty page when the book is clicked. Not pretty and I will be looking at this again when there is more time.

TOC - Books Linked to Topics?

I'm hoping that I'm just overlooking something and that my suspicion isn't true.
I have chapters, several levels deep of subchapters and then, of course, my topcs.
Something like this...
Help Root
     L Chapter Top
          L Subchapter
               L Subsubchapter
                    L Topic
I want each of my chapters to link to topics - basically introductory pages that I can't have at the same level as the topics because it woudn't make sense. I seem to be able to do this in RoboHelp HTML but not in RoboHelp for Word?

I think your suspicion is true. You cannot add a link to a book in the TOC when using RH for Word. You also can't have a page under a page in the format you describe or a book under a page. All pages do fall before books when it comes to the TOC hierarchy.
Book
     page
     page
     book
          page
     book
     page
An alternative you might want to think about is to put each chapter in one topic. Then add mid-topic links to the subsections on the page. You could also include this mid-topics in the Index. At the top of the chapter, build the contents of that section and make jumps to the mi-topics on the page. At the top, you could also include your intro.
Another alternative is to build an overview page with your intro.
Book
     overview page
     page
     book
          overview page
          page
     book
     overview page
     page

Can't access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser no

When I try to access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser not supported at this time". This happened to me while using my IPhone 5, a friend that uses an IPhone 6, and another friend that uses a Samsung Galaxy S5. I just need for my employees to be able to access, complete and submit work orders created in formscentral from their phones. I would like to use the data collection feature in formscentral but at this point any suggestions on how to accomplish this are welcomed. Thank you

Further info - I changed my security settings to allow apps from anywhere, and again tried to install. I again got an error message
that the update failed to install, and to contact Customer Support.

If I get a user to enter their name as a variable and I am linking one movie to another using a button, is there a way to carry the user name forward into the second movie?

When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

Thanks for the tip, but I had already tried this and it did not help. The File still downloads and , at the same time, a new Safari window opens - but the Safari window is blank.
Another discussion thread related to this problem is:
How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?
but this deals with Safari 5.1 which evidently has a problem with Adobe Reader.
I am using Safari 5.0, so the suggested solutions do not apply. ( I tried them anyway, but they did not work.)

Show navigation pane link in topics

Looking for more info on a new option for WebHelp layouts:
In the layout properties WebHelp Navigation screen (2nd page
of properties) there is an option Show Navigation Page Link in
Topics If I click the Help button on this screen, I see that this
option is described as "Include a link to the navigation pane."
I don't see any such link in my topics when I generate
WebHelp with this option enabled. I am just viewing my output
locally. Are these links only visible when the Help is called using
the API from a server?
Anyone using this option, or know what it is supposed to do?
I am using Breadcrumbs Links and these are working
fine.

Hi Rick,
First, thanks for all your help over the years with both RH
and Captivate, and for the great hints at your site.
Second, I was *hoping* this option would show the nav pane
link in the following case:
In my project I have set up a 2-pane window (Main_window) and
a 1-pane window (CS_Window).
Main_window is used for calling Help from the toolbar button
and some other places in the app when we want users to open help to
the default topic.
CS_window is called from our app when a user presses F1 in a
dialog (context-sensitive help). This window displays pertinent
topic and toolbar but no nav pane. Just what I want.
Problem is, there is no way for users to access nav pane from
the context-sensitive window. Related topics etc are all opened in
this same window. In order to get more info, users have to close
the help and re-open it via the toolbar or other link.
When a user presses F1, I would like them to see the "naked"
topic, with a way to open the nav pane.
What is the best way to acheive this?
Is there a way to invoke a context-sensitive topic outside
the WebHelp frameset so that this nav pane link will appear, and do
what you describe?
OR
Is there a way to add a button to my CS_Window that would
re-open the topic in the Main_window, which includes the nav pane.
OR
Other ideas? Suggestions greatly appreciated!
Jeanne
PS RoboHelp 7's own Help suffers from same problem: Click the
Help button in a dialog, see the pertinent topic, but there is no
way to find additonal info unless it is listed as a related topic.
You have to close the Help window and invoke Help via the menu to
see the nav pane.

Link a text with another sheet

Hello!!
Is there a opportunity in Diadem to make a link in one Report sheet on a textbox? The link should go to another sheet and show me the content of it.
Best regards,

Hi Mosquito,
wenn ich dich richtig verstehe möchtest du auf einer der Report Seiten irgendetwas von einer anderen Report-Seite anzeigen lassen.
Was genau möchtest du denn bitte angezeigt bekommen?

I would like to simply link one pdf to another

I would like to link one pdf to another. I create the hyperlink, however when it is selected, I get an error, and it wants to open a webpage.
Any help? I figured this would be a no brainer.

You probably already have your answer by now....
When creating your link, make sure the link action is Open a File.

Linking one scene to another...

Hi,
Iv been making video's for awhile but what still confuses me
is whats the best way to link one scene to another? on adobe
premiere elements its got alot of different ways to link media
files but most i don't tend to use because i don't want the
transactions to distract me when making, i tend to either use a
cross dissolve of dip in black effect or fade in/fade out video
effect. Without some sort of linking transaction the overall video
looks undone and messy, however to many effects makes the video
look more about the effects than the video itself and id rather
keep the transactions basic, having a dissolve link to long makes
the clips to short and when making a dissolve to short it looks out
of place and like a blinking effect! Does anyone get me? if so
please post!

I'm not 100% sure you are asking about flash - your entire
post sounds like a Premiere question. But
you do mention "scenes" and how to "link" them together -
what's confusing for me is that there is
no need to "link" scenes together in Flash - when compiled,
all scenes become one long timeline.
Scenes in Flash are a managment convenience in the Flash IDE
only.
Do you have a Flash document where you have buttons in 1
scene and trying to script them to send the
playhead to frames or labels in another scene?
Flash doesn't make "videos" in the true sense of the word -
it is not a video editor like premiere.
Sorry if I misunderstood - what exactly are you asking?

Linking one file to another

Is there a way to link 1 file to another file using Numbers '08? I can easily link worksheet to worksheet, but what if I want to link information from "file 1A" to a cell in a completely different one- like "file 1b" - that is not associated with the other file?
Help?

Question asked and resoonded many tilmes.
(1) Numbers '08' will no longer evplve.
(2) the wanted feature is unavailable in Numbers '09.
We may build a workaround with an Applescript but it will require a human action to update data wich is far from being safe.
For a user with very specific needs, I wrote an Applrscript wich ask the values in Display dialogs" and store them in several files.
It's the more efficient workaround which I was able to write.

How to programmatically jump from one topic to another in a compiled CHM file

Hello,
I'm working with the trial version of RoboHelp 9.0, trying to evaluate it for my company before we go ahead and purchase it.
Basically I'm importing a Word document and then exporting it into a .chm file.
I'm using a programing tool to jump from one topic to another in the compiled CHM file.
The topic is displayed just fine but the content on the left side stays closed and doesn't open accordingly.
I'm not sure how to extract from the RoboHelp viewer a topic's HTML address to serve as an input for my programming tool.
I'll appreciate any idea.

hi
say there are two infoobjects X and Y.
X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
This is one way.
Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
Hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it helps.

How to link one menu to another.

Hey guys,
I am creating a user input form for car types and car parts. I want to link one menu to another. I.e. the first menu will be make with a list of car makes, and if the user chooses "Ford" then the next menu will load items from a table "Ford" with the Ford models in it. I have the tables created in a database, one tabel is make with 50 different makes, and then i have 50 other tables for each make with the model types in it.
Sorry if this is confusing please ask me if you need any more info.
Thanks in advance

What you are looking for is a dependent drop-down menu. To get the values for the second menu, you need to send another request to the server, either by submitting the form again, or by using an Ajax request to populate the dependent drop-down. I don't know of any online tutorials for doing this, but you should be able to find something by doing a Google search. I know that "jQuery in Action, Second Edition" by Bear Bibeault and Yehuda Katz (published by Manning) describes in considerable detail how to do this.
