Configure Help Project for Creating Help Files

Macrobject Help Authoring Suite 2012 provides many options for controlling the features and appearance of the help system. 

Help Project File:  Help Authoring Suite Settings are saved in *.mohas files (Help Authoring Suite Project files, Help Project File).  The .mohas files are XML format. 

Help Project Template:  If you frequently create help files that contain a lot of specialized settings, you can save a considerable amount of time by creating a Help Project Template file. 

*      To create a Help Project Template file, use the menu item Save as project template.

*      To create a Help Project from a template, select one item from the “New” drop-down menu.

*      To open a recently used Help Project file, select one item from the “Open” drop-down menu.

 

[Tips]

*      The .mohas/.mohast files are in XML format.  You can modify them with any text editor if you are an advanced user.

*      Some add-ins will change the settings during the build process, so you must save the project to save the changes after building the help system.
