##### 18.8.3.1 Assigning a secondary window with a paragraph format

To use a paragraph format to force a jump from contents or index to a secondary window, assign property Window to the format of the paragraph that is the target of the contents or index entry (not to the paragraph format of the entry itself):

    [HTMLParaStyles]
    ; Window specifies only that access from the contents or index
    ;  opens the topic in the window named in [StyleWindow]
    TopicHeadingFmt=Window

Also assign the name of the secondary window to the target paragraph format:

    [StyleWindow]
    ; para style = window to use in HH when accessed from contents
    ;  or index
    TopicHeadingFmt=wndwname

Jumps from contents

A jump from the contents loads a topic in a secondary window only if the first paragraph in the topic has a format assigned the Window property. However, a Window PI marker in the first paragraph overrides any Window property assigned to that paragraph format.

Jumps from index

A jump from the index loads the topic in a secondary window if the Window paragraph format appears anywhere in the topic. For paragraphs after the first in a topic, whichever comes first, Window PI marker or paragraph assigned the Window property, determines which secondary window will be used for jumps from the index.
