WebHelp: Using a Footer for adding copyright info

Post by tasteslikechicken »

Hello,

I am trying to create a footer (or something that works like a footer) that appears on every page of my WebHelp-based online help system. This would be used primarily to display copyright information.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For online output, create a masterpage and put the copyright info at the bottom of the masterpage. It'll appear automatically on every page in the output. For print output, you'll do something similar, but using a page layout instead of a masterpage.

Hey, tasteslikechicken; welcome to the MadCap forums! Let us know how the masterpage works for you. I'm using it for my webhelp projects, and it is a perfect solution. If you run into any trouble, or have any questions setting it up, let us know.

After that, be sure to come back. We love to help.

The masterpage worked like a champ. It even gave me the inspiration to add a breadcrumb to the top of every page.

Thanks!
