Hi Jenny,
Yes. but it's only going to work if you
have the same version of the help files
(i.e. same Word version) and it will generally
open the page in your browser rather than
popup the Word help page.
With the help page open right click on it and
choose properties and copy the complete URL for
the topic, you have to scroll down to get all of
it once you start selecting, then use ctrl C to copy,
switch back to Word and use Ctrl+K to bring up
the hyperlink dialog and paste the link in the bottom
box.
You may want to check with the folks in the HTML Help
Authoring newsgroup for other methods.

Hi
Can anyone tell me if it is possible in Word 200o or XP,
to create hyperlink to a topic within a CHM (HTML Help)
file?
Thanks, Jenny>>

Thanks Bob.
I would have thought your method would work (in fact I had
tried something similar already), but still no joy.
I'm creating HTML from the Word files (using the HTML
Filter 2.0) and then importing the HTML files into
RoboHTML to create HTML Help. I checked that my link in
Word follows the same format as in the source in RoboHTML
(ie. <filename>.chm::/<topicname>) but it still doesn't
seem to work. Any other suggestions? What did you mean
by "the same version of the help files"? I copied the chm
file into the same directory as the HTML file that I'm
linking from so I know that the topic exists in that chm.
Thanks, Jenny.
