Footer in Word printed output

I want to prevent RoboHelp's topic footer from appearing in the printed Word output, where it shows as part of the page text (not in the Word document's footer).

I use a RH template to add the same footer to every topic in the WebHelp output but I don't want this in the printed output.
Is there a setting to turn off the footer on conversion to Word? I use RH v7.

Correct answer Peter Grainge

Try taking out the second and third lines

<meta name=Originator content=ImportDoc>
<meta name=OriginalFile Content=QD25vG2_1-1_6_HotelMgement_RH.doc>

I think you are talking about the topic footer. I am talking about the footer RH creates in the Word doc, different thing.

I generate printed output all the time, and my WebHelp template footer does not appear in my Word output. So I'm surprised by Peter's reply. I probably forgot some step I took in the distant past to rectify this problem. But, if so, I don't remember what it was.

Is your footer a true RH footer? Or have you placed the content at the bottom of the template page?

True RH headers and footers are created by clicking the relevant icons that appear above the RH navigation pane (tabs for Project, TOC, etc.). This applies to topics as well as templates. When you click the footer icon, everything but your footer is dimmed; if everything is dimmed, you don't have a true RH footer.

Good luck,
Leon

It is a true RH footer, created as a footer in a template. In the generated Word output, the footer appears after every topic in the body of the document. My expectation is that it would either ignore the RH footer on conversion or show it in the Word footer. It appears that the default situation is to assume I want the RH footer as part of the printed document. My current solution is to tag the RH footer with a conditional build tag which is excluded in the Word output.

thanks for all replies,

Welcome to the forum.

There's no way of turning it off but it always appears as a footer.
