Thank you. I was doing a project with several hundred images. I was in panic and frustration mode. I let the thing run overnight but it was still indexing references the following day. I am incorporating a lot of html that was created many years ago outside of RH. Part of my problem was loading so much content without occasionally generating.  I could have caught the probem much earlier. The test TOC solved the problem.  I'm back on track. I might meet an important deadline. ... View more

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions for Dreamweaver alternatives. I've decided to go with Expression Web for now. It has faults, but it's the devil I know... so I can get a quick start without a learning curve. Still plan to check out the several other options that were suggested. Thank you. ... View more

I used Dreamweaver several years ago while building sites for myself and a few local organizations (mostly charitable). However, a growing family and a decent job caught up with me, so I abandoned the sites (still live, but are now managed by others). I haven't been serious with web building for about the last five years. I have, however, used Adobe RoboHelp (which includes a one-time purchase option) for the last few years for creating HTML documents. The kids are growing up and going to college, so I'm ready to go again, but I'm shopping for a decent web/HTML editor that provides the WYSIWYG option along with regular coding. The world has changed with mobile devices, so I also worry about responsive HTML. For a startup, Dreamweaver is not going to work. If I'm going to gamble, I will make a one-time purchase (not subscription). I wanted to consider Dreamweaver as an option (that's why I'm here), but it appears there are alternative options that will meet my needs. ... View more

Unfortunately, Adobe has moved away from servicing the small guy (individual, small business, etc). Subscriptions make sense to large business, but make no sense to those that don't have a lot of money to burn. Subscription locks you in... if I can't afford to make a monthly payment (medical bills, unexpected circumstances, higher business priorities), then I lose my ability to use the software. Adobe Subscription is probably the right call if you own a large business -- and if that's the audience Adobe wants to target. But it forces the smaller guy to look for alternative software programs. I have  been encouraging my three college kids to stay away from subscription-based services. The model works for large businesses that require being kept up-to-date, but most individuals/families/students/small business do not have a need to receive every little update. Besides, other software companies often provide free updates to customers within a certain time-frame after purchase. Adobe does not. ... View more
