    Cool

    Hi guys! I am using Help Workshop for a VB Help file and am just about finished with it. I thought it would be nice to have an HTML link to my companies web page and a MailTo link for sending email.

    I use the Word editor to insert a hyperlink into the .rtf file, it does not work when compiled into help. I have not tried the MailTo link this way because if the HTML link will not work, I assume that the MailTo link will not work either. The help section in Help Workshop contains nothing on either of these 2 issues.

    Anyone know how to do this? It is not a necessity but would be a nice add-in.

    Thanks

    Andrew

    why now just make a topic that says SUPPORT or in your program, make a about screen that has it, if you need to, I can give you the code to do it in vb

    Talking

    I have it on the About screen and I guess I could add a Support topic. But if I could put it on the help pages themselves, then the users will not have to look for it because it will be right in front of them.

    Anyone know?

    I have a couple of hyperlinks and mailto links in my chm file.

    You could add those by creating the html documents through visual interdev.

    You can't do it that way, because he's using the original style help files, done with RTF files.

    Unhappy

    Parksie is right, and I really don't have time to learn another help editor since my project is already overdue
