How to set the JavaHelp viewer

Hi,

Robohelp 7, Windows XP, installed with the TCS

How do you point RoboHelp to a different JavaHelp viewer instance after it has been set initially? I was first using JavaHelp 1, but then installed JavaHelp 2, and I want to switch between the two for viewing, as I compile for the different versions. The only way I found to do it was to change the path to the active viewer which causes RoboHelp to lose it and to ask you again where it is.

And by the way, I looked in the help for this and I got some whacked out non-scrollable window that seemed to search the Adobe website, rather than provide help. Am I doing something wrong? It didn't look like a help system at all.

Thanks,
Russ

Hi Russ and welcome to our community

Fellow Adobe Community Expert Peter Grainge has info on JavaHelp that may help. Not sure about switching viewers.

For the help, click Tools * Options * General tab and choose the “Use offline help” option. Then close and restart RoboHelp to see the offline version of the help. It should be better.

Here is the link to Peter's site: Click here to visit Peter's site.
