The Help Project Wizard

The Help Project Wizard helps you set up a new help project. When it is finished you will have all HTML Help Project files and supporting files like style sheet and templates available in the project folder. In addition the most important setting will have been set such as Title, Language and Font.

The following walks through the steps on completing the wizard. Before starting the Help Project Wizard close any open project.

1. Start the Help Project Wizard
   On Backstage (= tab File ) press New and click New Project
   
   
   
   The Welcome screen explains what the wizard is about to do.
   To continue, click Next.

   Adapt the Help project name - which is the name to be used with the .hhp, .hhc, hhk and .compile help chm file.
   Accept the default folder to store your chm file in, or select a more suitable location using the [Browse] button.
   

   Tip
   If you will be publishing your help on a website, select a sub folder of the local version of your website.
