Question

Adjusting the Size of the Text in the Preview Window in RH8

Hello, Everyone!

I am new to the forum, but I've been lurking for a while.

We have upgraded from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8, and I have encountered some conversion issues. The primary layout type of the project is Microsoft HTML Help.

First, the text in the preview window is extremely small -- much too small to be useful to these old eyes. Has this changed in RoboHelp 8? Is there a setting somewhere that enables me to bump up the size of the preview text?

Also, I am encountering a number of spacing issues, including:

  • Extra space after an em dash (no spaces in version 7)
  • No space after a colon (there was a space in version 7)
  • Bullets display as numbers in the preview window, but seem to be OK in "live" version (bullets were fine in version 7)

Finally, we want to make this an AIR application, but the AIR option isn't available in the Single Source Layouts area for this project. When I create a new project, the AIR option is there. What am I missing?

Can anyone offer suggestions as to how I can fix these things? (I am not an "under the hood" kind of guy, so please don't assume I know a lot about the guts of RoboHelp.)

Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Hi there

    When you examine the Single Source Layouts pod (View > Pods > Single Source Layouts) do you see AIR Help? If not, try right-clicking the pod and you should be able to define a new layout for AIR.

    Cheers... Rick
