TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Give this a try. Generate your WebHelp again. But when you do, look at
the intermediate dialogs. This means you need to generate using File >
Generate Primary Layout. (If you are using the Quick Generate toolbar
button or pressing Ctrl+M, you don't see the dialogs). Click the Next >
button until you see the "WebHelp Options - WebHelp" dialog. On this
dialog should be an area labeled "Optimize Speed For".
I'm guessing the setting you will find here is "Web Site (Internet)".
Click and change to "Local PC or Intranet (Internal Network)".
Regenerate your WebHelp, put it in place and test. You might like the
results better. ;)
Cheers... Rick :)
