File Locations

 

When you install Doc-To-Help, the software itself, Doc-To-Help Projects, Templates, Cascading File Sheets, and Themes will be installed by default, in the following locations.

 

Doc-To-Help Software:

\\Program Files\ComponentOne\DocToHelp (on 64-bit machines: \\Program Files (x86)\...)

 

Doc-To-Help Projects:

\\My Documents\My Doc-To-Help Projects (this can be changed in the Options dialog box, on the Files pane (File tab > Doc-To-Help Options button)

 

Word Templates:

Templates are stored in Windows® 7/8 and Vista at:
 C:\Users\ (user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

 Windows® XP at C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.

The Application Data or App Data folder is a hidden folder. To show hidden folders, open the Folder Options dialog box in your operating system (Control Panel > Folder Options). Click the View tab, under Advanced Settings > Files and folders > Hidden files and folders, select the Show hidden files and folders radio button. Click OK.

You can change the default locations of Word Templates in Word using the Options dialog box (Word 2000/2002/2003) or Word Options (Word 2007+)

Backups: If you upgrade Doc-To-Help, the latest 10 backups of your templates will be stored in a subfolder named “Backup” of the  \Templates folder  listed above.

A note on changing your version of Microsoft Word: If you are a Word 2000/2002/2003 user, and you upgrade to Word 2007/2010/2013 (or vice versa) without reinstalling Doc-To-Help, you will have a problem with your Templates, because the Templates for 2007/2010/2013 are incompatible with 2000/2002/2003 Templates. The templates for each are stored here:

Word 2000/2002/2003: \\Program Files\ComponentOne\DocToHelp\Templates\User

Word 2007/2010/2013: \\Program Files\ComponentOne\DocToHelp\Templates\User\Word2007 (on 64-bit machines: \\Program Files (x86)\...)

Copy the templates from the appropriate folder and drop them in the correct \Templates folder for your operating system (listed above).

 

Add-Ins for Word:

Doc-To-Help add-ins for Word (C1D2HAuthor.dot and C1D2HEngine.dot) are stored in the Word Startup directory, usually found at: C:\Users\ (user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup (but can be changed in Word Options.)

 

Cascading Style Sheets:

\\Program Files\ComponentOne\DocToHelp\DefaultCSSFiles. (on 64-bit machines: \\Program Files (x86)\...)

 

Themes:

\\My Doc-To-Help Projects\Doc-To-Help\Themes. They are stored in individual folders based on Target (output type).
