I'd be very surprised if WWHelp couldn't be used that way. OmniHelp certainly can be. >On occasion, using WWP, I create multi-volume help for a client, e.g. a >Help file which is a combination of FM Book Help A, B, C, and D. > >My manager is keen for our customers to have the ability to download two >or more of FM Book Help A, B, C, and D and without my assistance create >a multi-volume Help file. They'd have to merge the TOCs, IX, Search info, ALinks... I do not know of any user tool for doing that. It calls for the same tool that made the help files in the first place. Of course, you could create a "master" Help file that merges *all* of the others; then clients could just open the master, and they'd see whatever parts it calls that they have. >You are a client. You have downloaded FM Book Help A, B, and D, i.e. >three individual help files. How do you merge them? I don't. I view each in a browser tab, and flip back and forth as I please. If I need them side by side, I open a new browser window. HTH! -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
