Hi,
I am new to H&M and have the following queries:
Is there an option to create a user defined template with styles and attach it to a project( like we do in Robohelp) in H&M5?
Also can can you preview a topic before publish it?
Thanks,
Sipl

You have two possibilities for templates:
Create a project and make all settings you need. Save this project.
Creating new projects you can use your previous project as a template.
More powerful is using skins. Skins are applied during publishing your project. Any change to the skin is visible after publishing. You can even change the skin to have it different for Web Help or HTML Help.

Hi Sipl,
Do you mean text/paragraph styles or something else? Once you have defined new text and paragraph styles (Styles > Edit Styles in the Write tab) you do need to apply them to your existing text. After you have done that you can then reformat all the text in your project formatted with those styles by changing the styles definitions.
You can import the stylesheet from another project with the Copy Styles From... button in Edit Styles. If your text in your existing topics is already tagged with style names matching the imported styles then the formatting will be applied automatically.
To preview one or more topics first select them in the TOC with Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click. Then select Publish (upper half of the Publish button for the dialog) and choose "Selected Topics" in the Include Options to publish only the selected topics.
