[ Making Simple HTML Index Files for Painter Help ] One needs to have three files to access the help pages from the index: the frameset page, the Table of Contents, and the Index page. [ Part I: Making the Frameset Page ] Make a file in the Painter Help folder named "helpframe.html" and copy and paste the text text below, between the lines, and save. ---------- Painter 7 Help ---------- [ Part II: Making the Table of Contents ] Make a copy of the file "CorelPainterTOC.xml" in the Painter Help folder, and name it "helpcontents.html." Open the file by a text editor. (If you don't have a text editing program, do a Google search and find one.) Do a series of "Global Replaces" in the following sequence: Replace the string on the left (of the tab) with the one on the right. The spaces on either side of the tab must be respected, and "\n" means the return code, which may be written differently between text editors.
