Great program for WinXP...not so great for Win7.
I really like this program, but it needs an update. While most of it works just fine with Windows 7 the embedded URLs do not. I am writing a Help file that needs to link to a couple of web pages and it works great in Windows XP. In Windows 7 Ultimate, however, clicking on a URL does nothing. Page to page links work as they should, but web links act as though they aren't even there. I wrote a small Word document with an internet link in it to test and had no trouble reaching the 'net from Win7. I'm glad that I tried the URLs in more than one version of Windows before distributing the help file to customers. Guess I will have to re-do the file using some other tool that will work across all versions of Windows, perhaps MS's own HTML Help Compiler. For the record I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and Internet Explorer 10. The machine that Shalom works well on is Windows XP Pro SP3 with Internet Explorer 8.
