USING ROBOHELP HTML 9 324 Generating Help and printed documents Organize and customize content Design a printed document based on only part of the project or the entire project. Determine where topics go in the document by arranging the pages and books during generation. Base printed document structure on the project TOC or select topics from custom folders in the Project Manager. Map project styles to Word Control how styles are used in printed documents with style mapping. Copy project styles directly to a Word document. Any applied project style retains the style in Word. You can alternatively skip style mapping and use topic styles. Types of Word documents to create Individual documents Separate Word files for the title page, table of contents, glossary, and index. A separate document is also created for each root-level book (chapter) and page in the printed table of contents. Master document An optional document that links to the individual documents. Familiarity with master documents in Word is recommended. Do not edit this file; it contains only field codes referencing the documents. Do not use a master document for large manuals. Single document One Word file containing the title page, TOC, chapters, glossary, and index. Printed document structure • Books and pages at the root level of the printed document begin a new chapter. • Subbooks and pages that are not at the root level of the printed document continue uninterrupted. • For books that link to pages, the link destination is placed directly after the book in the printed document. • Pages that link to a destination other than a topic are not available to use in the printed document. • Organize sections of the printed documentation output in the Section Layout dialog box.
