Changing window properties

I want to specify properties of my help system's browser window. Under the Single Source Layouts node and WebHelp Properties, the dialog does not offer the choices I need. Robohelp's help mentions "editing a layout" but I see few choices that affect the actual layout (in the sense of dimensions, etc).

Under the Windows node, the Properties of NewWindow include some things I need but this does not seem to affect WebHelp. The properties under Skins also lack the choices I need.

If I can find how to make the settings, I may still have questions: can I set a window size in pixels, or only in percent of the whole screen? And is there a way to set the width of the TOC pane?

The window size for webhelp cannot be determined by you from RoboHelp. Only your developers can define that through the call. I suspect that is covered in RoboWizard's Tips and Tricks file. Download that from http://www.robowizard.com.

The TOC width is covered either there on his Skinny on Skins.

Post back if you can't locate it.

I wasn't able to find anything on changing the toc width in either of the RoboWizard chm files. Did I miss it?
Its possible - I get distracted by all the other interesting information. Sriously - I wish I had a few days just to play with all the tweaks!

Pretty sure it is there. Perhaps Rick will confirm this for you.

Mea culpa!

It is there.
The title of the topic is: Alter the initial opening width of the WebHelp Navigation pane.

Just in case anyone else needs this...

Thanks,
Jeanne
