*Please Note: If you are creating Manual or WinHelp Targets, your Target Template Styles will override those in your Target CSS if there are any differences between the two.
You may edit CSS files using your own editor, or you may use Doc-To-Help’s editor.
If you use Doc-To-Help's style sheet editor, you will not edit these style sheets directly. See Editing a CSS for details.
•In new projects: When you create a new project in Doc-To-Help 2012, the project style sheet chosen when creating the project will become read-only and be stored in the \\(project folder)\CSSFiles folder. Any changes you make will be saved in the same folder, with the style sheet name truncated so that the prefix and suffix are removed (for example, “C1H_Source_Full.css” will become “Source.css.” See Style List Window Tour for more on how CSS files are inherited.
•In existing projects: When you open a project created in an earlier version of Doc-To-Help, the Style Sheets for the project will be found in the \\(project folder)\CSSFiles folder. You should edit the Style Sheets found in this folder. You can do so using the Style List Window if you wish.
•Copies of the original Style Sheets are stored in \\Program Files [or Program Files (x86)]\ComponentOne\DocToHelp\DefaultCSSFiles.
