At my new company I had to decompile a simple chm that links to a couple of
.pps files (since the original source files could not be found) . I
extracted the files using RoboHelp's HTML studio and created a new project.
All went well but for some reason a simple hyperlink to a .PPS file fails to
open in the newly compiled chm (the PPS does open though in eyeglasses
(preview) mode. If I substitute the file for an image or Word file, for
example, it works fine.
I have compared the source code in the original chm and it is identical to
the one that doesn't work, i.e.
href="<fileName>"
THe PPS file in question has been added as a baggage file.
Anyone know what could be the problem?
Many thanks,
Jonny Benjamin
