Question

HTML issue

Hi,
I have a table in one of my help pages. When i look at it in the design view the centered text is out of line. Going into the HTML view after checking the wisywig settings i find in every cell "padding-right: 10px" so i try to edit the 10px to 0px thinking this is the cause for the incorrect formating. I do this manually for a while and robohelp crashes. I tried find and replace functionality to do all in one go and robohelp crashes. If you have a way of getting round this issue and having centered or right hand text in tables with no padding in each cell please let me know.

Thanks, Ellen

    For a global search and replace Dreamweaver CS3 works well. You can set it to only replace code on pages in a certain folder (like your RH source files folder).

    There is a really neat trick of having a custom table stored ready for use. Rick Stones tips & tricks file describes how to do this. This would get around the padding issue. For the alignment you can handle this by a style in your style sheet.

    Failing this, create a table exactly the way you want, copy the truecode to a Notepad file and save it to your desktop. Then everytime you want to create a table, just copy/paste the code into the truecode.
