Just an update.
Followed Rick's instructions (nearly)
1 Created the Top level folder.
2 Created three sub-folders - Forumtest1 to 3
3 Created three test projects, each containing 6 topics and 3
shared topics.
4 Placed shared topics in the top level folder
5 Imported the shared topics into each project
6 Created Index
7 Used Traditional Style to generate
8 Checked all three Webhelp outputs.
9 I edited the shared topics in one project. Saved and closed
the project.
10 Opened each of the other projects in turn and checked that
the changes were reflected.
11 Regenerated each project and checked the output.
All projects webhelp were updated properly. The
contents,Index and search features worked.
As Rick says in his instructions, backup the .JS and .CCS
files before you start. (missed one project).
Rick,
When you get a chance, would you check that the steps I
carried out were correct.
Kewal,
If you try this, don't forget to backup your whole projects
first. Must be nearly morning where Rick is.
