Test text-only topics
Testing text-only topics requires access to the application.
• If you auto-generated map files, give these files to your developer.
• When done testing, compile the Help. Provide your developer with the CHM file.
• Install the latest version of the application, including the latest CHM file.
• If installing the latest application from a network or CD, replace the existing CHM file with the new copy when you
compile. Copy the CHM file into the folder with the application EXE file.
• Print a Map IDs report as a checklist for testing dialog boxes. Print the text-only topics file that matches topic IDs
to topics.
Tips:
• Use BugHunter to test application calls.
• Use the Duplicate Map IDs to resolve problems with repeated map numbers.
Remove text-only topics
You can remove text-only topics in Microsoft HTML Help projects when changes to dialog box controls and fields
affect context-sensitive Help.

if you no longer need them.
