Index Entry not Jumping to Keyword location

Post by netmatt »

I am just starting, so this may be covered somewhere, but I cant find it in forums or doco.

I created an Index, and added 4 entries. 1 main, and 3 sub-entries. The index keywords are dispersed through a topic, at top, 1/4 way down, 1/2 way down, etc...

Problem is that when I generate the MyHTMLHelp format, double-clicking the index only brings me to the top of the topic for all 4 entries.

If I build the same in WebHelp, it jumps correctly to the keyword location.

Is this not supported in HTMLHelp? Based on other postings here, it looks like it is not just working correctly, or I missed something.

I am using the latest Flare v5.0.1.

Thanks

Hi - you have stumbled upon one of the well hidden options. For HTML help, you can control this from the skin.

Open the skin that your HTML target links to.
Select the "HTML Help Setup" tab.
Click the "Index Options" button (near the bottom of the dialog).

The options dialog has 2 check boxes - the second one (Include bookmarks with index entries) is the one you want.

Cheers.
