Changes to source file

[TechySP]

When I make changes to 2 different source files eg. English and Chinese, Is there a way I can view these source files side by side so that I am sure of the consistency of changes in both the files.

Hi there

It's easy if you are using RoboHelp HTML 7. Basically you just have the two topics open in the Document Editing Pad. Then right-click either of the tabs and choose New Vertical Tab Group.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick, but how should I open 2 projects simultaneously?

If you open a project by double clicking the XPJ file in Windows Explorer, you can open multiple instances of RH.

Thanks Peter

LOL, thanks for the assist, Peter! I was bleary eyed tired when I replied to that last night. Didn't pick up on that TechySP asked about Projects and I was thinking Topics! My bad.

TechySP, sorry for any confusion that caused. As Peter pointed out, RoboHelp HTML can be opened two or more times. You may open it by double-clicking the .XPJ OR by simply launching it from its icon on the Desktop or in the Start menu. If you launched it that way, you would then need to navigate to the project you wanted.

Cheers all... Rick
