How to Cross-Ref from one Project to Another

Post by straygoat »

Hello.

We have a help system that consists of many different chms (which then all get compiled into 1 master project chm). The individual chms need to have cross-references to each other. I'm told this is possible, but I can't find out how to do it. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

ps - If cross-refs can't be used for this and hyperlinks are the only way forward, then that will have to do...I don't know how to do that in Flare either though!

You can't insert cross-references to anything outside of your project, you'd have to use hyperlinks.

Inserting links to external files (including CHMs) is covered in the help here:
