You can set Doc-To-Help project options for Startup, file locations, preferred HTML editors, updates, spelling, etc. using the Options dialog box.
To set Doc-To-Help Options
1. Choose the File tab > Tools > Options. The Options dialog box will open. (Or, click the Doc-To-Help Options button at the bottom of the File tab menu.)
2. Select the General, Files, Editors, Team, SharePoint, Updates, Spelling, or Eclipse Help button.
3. Select the desired options.
4. Click OK.
General button:
•Set Startup options for the Getting Started With Doc-To-Help wizard and automatic reloading of last project
•Change the color scheme for Doc-To-Help (Blue, Silver, or Black)
•Set various confirmation prompts. If these check boxes are selected, Doc-To-Help will display a message box when you perform these functions. These messages can also be turned off by selecting the "Don't show me this again" check box when the message box is displayed.
o Confirm editing properties of multiple topics. If you select more than one topic in the Topics window, and then click the Properties button in the Topics ribbon, Doc-To-Help will remind you that you have selected more than one topic and will be editing the properties for all of them.
o Confirm adding documents outside source document folders. If adding a document to your project using drag-and-drop, Doc-To-Help will inform you if the document is not stored in the correct folder. You should always copy documents to the correct folder before adding them so that the links don't break and the project is self-contained.
o Confirm using Windows System colors. If you change the System background color for any JavaHelp or NetHelp Target (Help Targets dialog box > Color > System tab), Doc-To-Help will inform you that system colors are specific to Windows and explain how this will be handled for the Target.
o Prompt installing Microsoft Help Viewer target after build. If you built a Microsoft Help Viewer target, Doc-To-Help will ask if you would like to install the target. If yes, it will open the Help Library Manager so you can add the project to the Microsoft Help Viewer and look at it.
o Prompt viewing help target after build. After every build or rebuild, Doc-To-Help will ask if you would like to view the Help Target.
o Confirm making a copy of a document with Save As. If saving the currently open XML document under another name using File tab > Save As, Doc-To-Help will explain that the document will be stored in the same folder as the original document, but will not be automatically added to the project.
o Confirm allowing local formatting. If you click the Local Formatting button in the Editor tab of the XHTML editor, Doc-To-Help will display additional information about local formatting.
o Confirm removing local formatting. If you have applied local formatting in the XHTML editor, and then click the Local Formatting button in the Editor tab, Doc-To-Help will inform you that all the local formatting applied will be removed.
Files button:
•Change the default location for Doc-To-Help projects and Doc-To-Help custom Themes (See Customizing Themes with the Theme Designer.)
