Linking Tab

The Linking tab defines general information that can be used when linking to the published Windows Help system from other sources.

Help Check Prefixes

Defines prefixes other than IDH_ for mapped topic IDs. A prefix other than IDH_ generates errors as you compile your help file — unless you specify that prefix here.

Help Include File

Defines the name and location of an ASCII text file that contains a list of items. Depending on the circumstances, the file can include mapped topic IDs. Including an ASCII text file provides an alternative to adding these items individually. If you do not know the name or location of the file you want to include, click the [...] button.

Help Topic Offset

Specifies an offset number that Author-it will use when publishing Windows Help. The Topic IDs will be set to the Object Code of the Topic plus the specified offset. The main use for this property is if you are trying to combine multiple help files from different libraries and you want to ensure that the Topic IDs will not conflict.
