Changing help access from intranet-based to locally installed content

You can change the way that you access help content from a server on your intranet to content installed on your computer.
Close the help browser before you change the way that you access help content.
During the installation process, you chose to access help from a server on your intranet. To change to help that is downloaded and installed on your computer, complete the following steps:
  1. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. Expand the Help entry, and then click Content. A list displaying the currently configured information center or centers opens.
  3. Ensure that Include help content from a remote information center is selected.
  4. Disable the link to your intranet server by selecting that connection in the Content list, and then clicking Disable.
  5. Click Add; then enter a name for the local help connection. Specify the local host address 127.0.0.1 and path /help. Enter any unused port number, and then click OK.
  6. Select Use default port, then click OK.
  7. Click Apply, then OK.
  8. Close and restart the client, then follow the instructions in Downloading help content with the Local Help System Updater site to download help content.
