Select window:

Select a help window definition for editing. By default only the standard Main window is defined. Click on Add to create additional secondary help windows. Remove deletes the current secondary help window (Main cannot be deleted).

Window name:

This is the identifying name of your help window type, which is displayed in the Help Window: field in each topic's tab. It is restricted to a maximum length of 8 characters. No spaces or non-alphanumeric characters are allowed.

You cannot rename a secondary help window once you have created it.

Title bar text:

This is the text displayed in the title bar of the help viewer in HTML Help. You can enter different texts for secondary window definitions to display different titles in the title bars of external windows.

By default this field contains the <%TITLE%> variable, which automatically displays the text entered in Help Title: field in the Title & Copyright section, so you only need to change this if you want to display a different text.

Size and position:

Defines the size and position of the main help viewer for Main and for external windows for secondary help window definitions.

Note that in HTML Help these settings are only used the first time the help is opened for the main help viewer. After that Windows stores the user's own settings and re-uses them the next time the help is opened. The settings will always be used for external windows, however.

Position Wizard

The Position Wizard displays a dummy window that you can position and resize on the screen to set the size and position values.

If you have a dual monitor system use the position wizard in the primary monitor and make sure that the primary monitor is on the left: On dual-monitor systems the 0,0 position is defined as the top left corner of the primary monitor, so doing this will make sure that the resulting values also work on single-monitor computers.
