Help Getting Started

I am just getting started with Robohelp and am having many problems navigating and modifying my project

I very easily was able to import a .HLP file, set up a TOC, and generate a Multiscreen layout with default settings

Now I am attempting to edit this

I want to do things like:

  • Change colors, fonts, and layouts and make other CSS changes.  there seems to be a different CSS for each layout instead of being one centralized CSS like I have seen in tutorials
  • Index all documents
  • Build a glossary
  • Apply skins
  • Change default layout( I set this but now can not find how to get back to it so I can change it)

Documentation I am finding does not seem consistent with my setup

Can someone point me towards a tutorial where I can get a good overview of how the system works

Feel free to answer the above questins but I am going to have many more so direction on good documentation would be helpful

    Rick probably doesn't want to say this himself, but he has a very good and quite cheap assembly of RoboHelp introduction book: Gooberguides. A few bucks help you get up to speed quickly. See http://www.gooberguides.com/

    Another, but more expensive way is the Iconlogic training books (sorry Rick!) They are also good, but which one you need is something of a personal preference. See http://www.iconlogic.com/titles.htm
