Adjusting the HTML Help Viewer Window Size and Toolbar Buttons
To modify the default HTML Help Viewer window, you need to override the default template.hhp file. This file provides the default HTML Help project options and drives the changes specified through the ePublisher options and settings. You can modify various aspects of the default HTML Help Viewer window definition through HTML Help Workshop. For more information about the window definition settings, see the HTML Help Workshop help.
Note: This template file is used to create the .chm file for each top-level group in your project. If you have multiple top-level groups, ePublisher applies these settings to the .chm file for each top-level group.
To change the default Help Viewer window size and toolbar buttons
In your Stationery design project, on the View menu, click Project Directory. For more information about override files and locations, see “Understanding Stationery, Projects, and Overrides”.
If you want to override the default HHP settings for 'all HTML Help targets' in the 'project, create the Formats\Microsoft HTML Help 1.x\Pages folder in your project folder.
If you want to override the default HHP settings for a specific 'target, create the Targets\targetname\Pages folder in your project folder, where targetname is the name of the target you want to override.
Copy the template.hhp file from the following folder to the override folder you created within your project folder:
Program Files\WebWorks\ePublisher Pro\Formats\Microsoft HTML Help 1.x\Pages
In HTML Help Workshop, open the template.hhp file you copied to your project override folder.
On the Project tab, double-click on Tripane=”” under [Windows]. HTML Help Workshop displays the Window Types window, which allows you to adjust the Tripane window definition.
If you want to adjust the default window size and position, complete the following steps:
