Changing Relative File Paths

If you change the relative positions of the Library database and the Templates directory from Author-it's default file directory structure, you will also need to change settings in several Author-it objects (usually object templates). These settings point to files whose location is always specified relative to the position of the Library file that you are working with.

SQL Server

If you are using a SQL Server database, the locations of files are specified relative to the Library path directory specified in the Summary section of the Author-it Administrator. Think of this as your base directory.

To Change File Paths

1. Start the Author-it program and log in to your Library.

   You'll need to log in as a User who has sufficient permissions to edit object templates - "(supervisor)" usually works.

2. Open the object templates for these types of object, and change their relative paths if necessary:
   • Book object, Print tab, Word template field.
   • Index object, Web tab, HTML Help sub-tab, Index template and Sitemap template fields.
   • Table of Contents object, Web tab, HTML Help sub-tab, Contents template and Sitemap template fields.
