Hi Nadja,
you might think about switching over to eWriter help. I my case it solved all the problems with different browsers an their securety settings related to file links.

Hello Horst,

Thank you for your suggestion!
Alas, output format is not in my decision range. (It already took severe effort, in the beginning, to convince some people that a documentation of this size should definitely NOT be in PDF format. ^^)
And, as e-writer means an additional piece of software for everyone, and/or dealing with restrictions to .exe files on/from terminal servers, I can foretell what would come out of suggesting it... :surprise: :roll:

Thanks, and Best Regards

Nadja

Hello Nadja,
to work arround this problem you then need to work with a local Webserver see HM2GO in the Help&Manual Help.
Which is also an additional software to install. I do not recomend this.
As already said eWriter makes more sense...

The EXE restrictions no longer apply. eWriter can now be data-only *.ewriter files, but you do have to install the eViewer application to view them.
