If you are not able to use one of the many predefined character styles that comes with Doc-To-Help, you can create your own. This is an advanced option and will probably not need to be used often.
1. Create the style in your Word or HTML source document.
2. Create a like-named character style in the Doc-To-Help project:
• On the Icon bar, click Project.
• Select the Character Styles item from the left pane.
• Right-click anywhere in the character style list in the right pane and select New from the shortcut menu.
• Type the name of the new character style and press Enter. The new character style is added to the list.
3. Set the Behavior property of the new style to one of the D2HML values. In order for the style to be active, it must have a Behavior property other than None.
The active link Behavior settings are as follows:
