Notes

  • You can add two Jump buttons to a help window.
  • If you are linking to a file in your help system that is not in the same folder as your project file, you need to provide the relative path to the file. For example, If your topic file is located in a subfolder called Topics, you need to type Topics/Mytopic.htm.
