I don't see where the window selection comes in. There's Skin, Layout, but no way to assign a customized window to a Webhelp project. (Long, long bulleted lists are hard to read and do not make good help, BTW)

Create a new skin from the Project set up pod.  Name the skin.  To generate web help file navigate to the Single source layout pod and right click WebHelp.  Select properties. Navigate to Navigation option from the WebHelp Settings dialog.  Click Skin selection drop down list from the right panel and select the skin name that you had created.

Create a skin and then name the skin. Right click Web Help from the Single Source Layout. Select Properties. In the Web Help Settings dialog, navigate to the Navigation option. Click the Skin selection drop down list from the right pane and select the skin name. The skin that you had created.

How do we apply skins to the .chm help files (MHTML output)? I read RH 10 version could do that but it doesn't seem so. I tried that nor is it mentioned in the help.

Hi there

To apply a skin you need to first generate WebHelp with the skin you want. Once you do that, open the Script Explorer pod and you should find a script named WebHelp to CHM Converter. Run that.

Thanks a lot Rick. It wasn’t very obvious as such. I then got to watch a video on Adobe TV, which helped a lot. Thanks again for your quick response.
