Scroll CHM to Mid Topic Index Entries

Post by MkMr »

If I place index entry terms mid-topic into my HTML help files the index will only jump to the top of the topic. It won't scroll down to where the index entry actually is.

This is not too savory! RoboHelp used to be able to do this. And actually I know I've reported this limitation before. I was hoping to see it fixed. But unless I'm doing something wrong (I hope!) it's still not solved in Flare V4.1.

Am I alone in needing this feature?? This seems really critical to allowing users to find information. Comments welcome.

Hey Greg,

Works! Wow, thanks! Wonder when they added that - if that's been there for a few releases I'll start blushing.
