Add the Footnotes

After the topics have been created, you need to add the footnotes to each page. The only required footnote is the Topic ID. You define the Topic ID by inserting a footnote, and using the pound sign (#) as the footnote character.

Add the Topic ID footnote:

Go to the top of the topic page and click the mouse. The footnotes must be entered at the beginning of the topic. In Word, select Insert Ø Footnote. Set the Custom Mark field to the pound sign. When you go to write the footnote text, type the Topic ID. This should be prefixed with the string “IDH_”. This helps the help compiler process the file.
