Stay on top? Pop-ups?
Reply Quote
I'm almost ready to purchase the program.  Testing is going well.  I have a few questions I need answered before my manager tells me to buy something else.

1. How do I get the chm window to stay on top?
2. Does the program support animated clip art and gif files?
3. Is there a way to create pop-ups?

Thanks -- DJ

I found the answer to #1.

How about #2 and #3?

Gif animated files is supported by extend the Media Files add-in. We will update the add-in soon.
Pop-ups are not supported currently. We will implement it in the near future.

You can try gif files first:

1. Download the new add-in at: http://www.macrobject.us/temp/MediaFiles.zip. Unzip the file into the addins folder under the Word-2-CHM installation folder and replace the existing files.

2. Copy the gif file to the same folder of your Word file.

3. Insert a hyperlink and set its address to macrobject:media::.\theGifFile.gif

4. Enable the Media Files add-in and create the chm file.

Regards,

Peter

Thanks!

One more question... After creating a CHM file, I copied to another computer to test how it will work for someone else and it didn't.  The file opened, but the page was blank.  It says, "Navigation to the webpage was canceled."

What does this mean? What am I missing, please?

And how do I get the window to remember its size and position on another PC, please? --DJ

I figured out that I need the .doc file in the same folder as the .chm file.

In addition to wanting the window to open in the position where I left, I'd like to eliminate the horizontal scroll bar.  I don't have HSCROLL selected under Window Styles and my images are no more than 2 inches wide so there's no need to scroll horizontally. 

Also, is there someplace to read about all the CHM Options?  I am particularly interested in the Window and Extended Styles. They're not as self-explanatory to me.

For security reasons, Windows block chm files copied from network or downloaded from internet. Right click the chm file and click the "Unblock" button to unlock it.

The default size and position are stored in the chm file. We will add options to allow user change these values.

You can find some information in the help of Microsoft HTML Help Workshop for Window Styles. We'll update our documents later.

Is there any way for me to tell the chm file what size to be when it's opened?

Currently the settings about position is not available.
We will add them in the future version.
Please apply "Keep HTML Help Project" and modify the .hhp, as below:
  replace [5,5,790,560] to your requirement ([left, top, right, bottom]).
And re-compile the .hhp with hhc.exe or Microsoft HTML Help Workshop.

Thanks.  I'll try that for position.  What about size?  Is there a setting I can change for size?

Aha, "position" means position and size, [left, top, right, bottom]
