For best results, use underscores instead of spaces, and follow the HTML filenaming protocol. Avoid using these
characters in filenames: \ / : * ? < > | # ", $, &, [ ]
If the filename has multiple words, use underscores instead of spaces.
Open topics
You can open topics in Design Editor or another editor while still using RoboHelp to add online Help features.
❖
In the Project Manager or Topic List pod, do one of the following:
• To open the topic in Design Editor (or a third-party editor you've set as the default editor), double-click the
topic.
• To open the topic in an editor, right-click the topic and select Edit With > [editor].
If you are prompted whether to continue with possible HTML code changes, click Yes. However, to avoid code
changes from one editor to the next, edit topics in the same editor and click No.
