The Ids in our case are preset in the calling application and we need to set them accordingly in the CHM. It would be perfect if I could add the Help ID to each Topic as such: 1. HeadingA {PRIVATE W2CID=2000} 1.1 HeadingB {PRIVATE W2CID=2012} 2. HeadingC {PRIVATE W2CID=3019} ...etc The PRIVATE field is designed for such things. I understand that this means that I will be responsible to make sure IDs are not repeated. Is this possible to add this feature? Or do you have a better suggestion to manage the IDs? Thanks in advance Massoud    Report

But I just tested it and it does not quite work Some headings do not have the right ID. I have IDs from 1000 to 6000. The only ones that have not worked are 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004. Every other ID is correct. Very strange! Thank you. Massoud    Report

09-08-2011, 8:47 AM csmassoud Joined on 08-29-2011 Posts 7 Re: [Suggestion] Read Help Ids from PRIVATE fields in Word I found what the bug is. If in a document you have this: Heading A Heading B Heading C Heading D { mo:HelpId=1000 } Heading E { mo:HelpId=1001 } Heading F { mo:HelpId=1002 } Heading G { mo:HelpId=1003 } Heading H { mo:HelpId=1004 } Then contextual help for E, F and G actually wrongly point to A, B and C respectively. This happens because Custom IDs did not start until the 4th heading. The workaround for me is to add dummy IDs to headings before the first one (or not use 1001, 1002 etc and use higher numbers): Heading A { mo:HelpId=1 } Heading B { mo:HelpId=2 } Heading C { mo:HelpId=3 } Heading D { mo:HelpId=1000 } Heading E { mo:HelpId=1001 } Heading F { mo:HelpId=1002 } Heading G { mo:HelpId=1003 } Heading H { mo:HelpId=1004 } OR Heading A Heading B Heading C Heading D { mo:HelpId=2000 } Heading E { mo:HelpId=2001 } Heading F { mo:HelpId=2002 } Heading G { mo:HelpId=2003 } Heading H { mo:HelpId=2004 } But it will be nice to fix this issue.

These HelpIDs are started from 1001. We cannot change this for compatible reason. So please use one of your solution. Use bigger numbers for your custom HelpIDs are recommended. For examples, use 10001, 10002, etc. Regards Peter    Report
