Hi, Jenn and welcome.
Hmm. I'm trying to figure why you imported even the .HTM file
into baggage? This would not normally be necessary in RoboHelp 7.
If you just go File > Import and point to the published
Captivate movie's .HTM, the rest of the files come along for the
ride.
Regardless, if you did import them all into baggage, that's
ok too. You probably did a drag and drop from the baggage .HTM file
to a link in your topic and then tried to change the Hyperlink
properties to new window? I actually tested this and it works
properly for me (opens in new window just fine).
Now, I'll add to Rick's list of questions.
When you say, "I created the help file and linked to the htm
file in baggage." What exactly do you mean "created the help file"?
Do you mean a topic?
Popup blockers? What browser are you using?
Though the above scenario seems to work for me, if you're
still having problems there are alternatives. A workaround might be
to change the link to custom sized popup if that helps break out of
the topic pane so folks would not have to scroll. There are also
simple JavaScripts that can launch browser windows if that's what
you need.
If you'll describe your ideal scenario, I'll bet we can
figure it out.
Hope you're having fun in class Rick!
Thanx
