Creating an Index File
A good index file helps users to locate the information they need. HTML Help Workshop provides the tools needed to create and edit an index file for your help system.
- On the File menu, click New, and then click Index.
- Add keywords to the index (.hhk) file you have created. If you plan to use your index only on a Web site, you can create a site map index.
- If you are designing a help system using the Help Viewer, adding an index file to your help project will also create the Index tab in the Navigation pane after the project is compiled.
- If you are designing for a Web site or your own frameset, make sure you add the HTML Help ActiveX control to the appropriate files and specify a default frame to display your index file.
- If you compile a help file and set the compatibility to version 1.0, a site map index will be created.
