My company is taking the leap from WebHelp to HTML5 and has chosen a top navigation and left hand navigation combo design as in the Flare example submitted by Hewlett Packard (http://mobilecenter.hpe.com/Content/Resources/_TopNav/_TopNav_Home.htm). I've downloaded a Top Nav skin for home page and ...

Is there a way to change the Home button destination to the TOC and remove the original Home screen all together in Web Mobile output? I don't want the first screen since I only have a TOC and no index, search, etc. in the project. Any suggestions?

The majority of my topics duplicated in Word and PDF target output. Is there a quick and easy way to fix this?

If you are wanting the PDF bookmarks to appear different than in a TOC which is used in other output, I would copy the TOC to temp folder, rename it, and copy it back into the Project/TOC folder. Then, customize it for your PDF output.

Thanks Inge. Sounds like those steps should have fixed the problem but still not working. Any other suggestions?

The skin I created isn't displaying in HTMLHelp, specifically the custom book icons on the TOC. It works in WebHelp and I've tried adjusting target defaults for HTMLHelp and Project Properties but I must be missing something. Any suggestions?

How do I prevent users from copying and pasting content from the WebHelp output into other software? Of course, it's copyrighted material but how can I be sure someone cannot do the above?

A former Robohelp user wants to know if it is possible to use multiple skins in the same target (WebHelp). I don't see how to do this or if it's possible. I've imported my Robohelp project into Flare and have multiple skins already created (based on Robohelp's Windows). I would like to be able to ...

It now works!! I used the code that Pete provided above to replace the a href link code but also had to delete the object code found near the bottom of each html page. The chm compiles and links to the PDF!!

Yes, the path is correct.

The new code fixed part of the problem. Flare now completes the compile and creates the CHM file. However, my link to the PDF file still isn't working. Thanks for your help Pete. Any more suggestions?

Currently using Flare v3.1 to output to CHM. In the past, I've been able to link to external PDFs by replacing code in HTML file with: <OBJECT id=hhctrl type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11" codebase="hhctrl.ocx#Version=4,73,8412,0" width=100 height=100 ...
