Hyperlinks not transferring from MS Word to RH

Hello! So I am fairly new to RoboHelp and coding, I only started using this program two months ago and had no codng experience prior. It's has been a bit of a learning curve, but I am starting to get the hang of it and tried some of the training modules available for it. I am however having an issue which although isn't stopping me from doing my job, it is much more time consuming then I feel it needs to be. I am currently working on doing a full update of our Knowledge Base which is upwards of 900 articles. We review the documents on MS Word and then transfer them over to RoboHelp, however the issue I am having is with my hyperlinks. As soon as I paste them into RoboHelp from MS Word, the destination of all my links dissapears and I have to manually edit each one to add the destination into all of the links. They transfer over and still look like hyperlinks (blue and underlined) its just the link is broken every time. Some links are just project files which I can sort out re

Warning - bookmarks in dropdowns do not work if they start with a number

RH 2022.3.93Frameless output---Just a heads-up for people who use bookmarks in dropdowns: do not start bookmark IDs with a number in a dropdown. If you make a link to a bookmark starting with a number and click on the link, you will be directed to the general topic but the dropdown will fail to expand. e.g. in topic B you have a dropdown with two bookmarks: <p><a class="dropspot" data-rhwidget="DropSpot" data-target="drop-down" href="#">dropdownz</a></p><div class="droptext" data-targetname="drop-down">  <p><a id="test1"></a>test1</p>  <p><a id="1test"></a>1test</p></div> Create a topic A and add links to both bookmarks (hyperlinks or crossrefs both exhibit the same problem).The first link will successfully auto-open the dropdown, the second will not.

Robohelp Translation Question

I have an extensive document that I have inherited (6000+ topics in several publications) that is authored in English (US)One of our subsidiaries has translated each topic individually into German by copying and editing the project  and manually overtyping the content to create a whole new Robohelp project. I am now trying to fix this issue and do the job properly.Is there a way to bring these files back into my original project so I can then use the Translations panel to manage any further work that will be needed (without converting them all to XLIF)? I have tried linking to an existing project but that did not capture the translated files. I then assumed that if I created a translation project and then overwrote the content with my German project, the original file would recognize and accept the update, but this has not worked.

Tab not working to move list to 2nd level - Robohelp 2022

I have a question.  I have asked this in prior posts, but will try again bc it is a big problem for me.  I've created ordered and unordered list styles for 3 levels.  I have cleared formatting in the lists that I'm having trouble with and I have clicked the "none" option in the bullets and numbering toolbar buttons at the top of RH.  Level 1 applies fine.  But, when I try to Tab to move in to level 2 it doesn't work.  I've looked through CSS code and I  feel like it's right, but I'm obviously missing something.  I will add some screenshots and attach an example of what is happening. This first screenshot is the desired outcome.  This is the document in Word that we imported into RH.  The highlighted text is where the problem is (one area I'm haivng the problem, althought it's happening in most all of the files we are importing. ) I'm needing to change the existing bullets to lower-alpha numbers.  I cleaer the formatting on the exis

Robohelp 2022 - Why are the lists so confusing?

I think I just hit my breaking point.  I've spent one entire day messing with these lists trying everything I can think of to just add 1/2" space between my number or bullet and my text.  I've messed with the autonumbering, I've messed with ol and ul styles and decimal styles and alpha numberic styles, disc styles, created my own styles, modified the existing styles and I can't make it work.  I've literally spent the last 20 years teaching paragraph numbering in MS Word to adults of varying skill level.  I cannot believe it is this confusing.  I have NO (ZERO) idea what any of the fields inside of the "style editor", I guess it's called, even do as it relates to setting up a freaking numbered or bulleted list.  Prefix Width, what is it?  What does it control?  Do I need it?  Indent?  What does that control?  If I literally click the increase arrow on the indent field, what is it indenting.  Sometimes my preview will move allow

Multilevel lists - cannot use tab to change levels - Robohelp 2022

I am working with Multilevel lists in RH 2022.  I've imported a document from Word into RH.  I have created my list style and configured it for 4 levels (3, actually is all that is needed.)  I'm going through my imported file and I'm trying to apply my list style to the parts of the document that need the numbering.  Things are going great in some parts of the document and then in others, I am unable to use the Tab key to move the lines to the next level.  I select the lines that need the numbers applied to them, and select my list style that I created called KEESMultilevelList and then I press Tab because I need it to be a level 2 and nothing happens.  Earlier in this same document, tab works and allows me to move the lines in to the next level.  I've looked at the CSS source code and I have no idea what the hell I'm even looking at.  In addition to this problem, I also have a strange issue where these random paragraph markers appear in my

Responsive HTLM5 output does not match template in skin editor

RoboHelp 2022 (version 2022.2.22). The preview for the Azure Blue skin in the skin editor looks like this (and when I generated it on Tuesday, the output also looked like this): Today, the preview still looks like, but the generated output looks like this: Instead of at the top, the TOC and index buttons are to the side.  The TOC also behaves differently.   I'm not sure what changed between Tuesday and yesterday/today - the output on Tuesday looked like the first screen print, and when I opened a book in the TOC, it still showed all of the TOC books (similar to how it does in frameless and how the TOC behaved in RH2017).  But now when I open a TOC book, it only shows the contents of that book and I have to select a previous folder icon () to get back to view all of the books.  I don't know what happened from one day to the next - yesterday morning I viewed the output before I even opened RoboHelp and it had changed, and no one else works in

Frameless output: external links in same frame, internal topic links in new window

RoboHelp 2022 (version 2022.2.22) Experimenting with trying to use a frameless template, and trying to make links behave the same way that they do in our current projects (RH2017).  The projects are all on an intranet site.   External links:When using a frameless template, is there a way to make an external link (usually a topic in another project) appear in the center panel (make it replace the current topic with the external link, still viewing the same TOC and header from the original project)?  If the Same Frame option is selected for the link, in an HTML5 template (and RH2017), the link opens in the same frame and you can still see the toc (and header, etc).  If I select the same frame option in a frameless template, it opens the link in the whole window, so it appears that you are no longer in the same site.  (Which I suppose you're not, but we want it to remain in the frame, or the center panel in frameless, only).  Is that possible?&

Images in header/footer of PDF output no longer show since 2019.0.11

Our company logo was in the top right of the PDF output, but it no longer shows there since the update. Furthermore, the appearance and disappearance of the header and footer text is quite erratic. Some pages show no header/footer at all, some only show a header, others only a footer, and some show both, but still without the images. The images *are* visible in the master page itself. I have not changed a single thing on my master page for PDF. It was working perfectly before the update. It took me quite some time to get this working correctly. In about 3 weeks we will need to release the pdf output for this project.  Please Adobe, help. I can't keep spending hours and hours again on things that suddenly break when I need to release actual documents with this software.

Trouble importing translated XLIFFs

I am trying to simulate the language translation process all the way through so I can grasp how all the pieces work together. I've exported my project to xlfs - no problem there. Then I made a small edit to one of the xlfs to simulate the translation. When I attempt to import the xlfs back into the project I never see the test edits. I am opening the translation project not the original untranslated one. I know I've left out a lot of detail here that would probably help in understanding the issue, but not really sure where to begin. Feel like I will not be able to put an actual translated project in place properly. I made the test edit to the xlf using Notepad rather than an XLIFF translation tool so not sure if this could be part of the problem. BTW I'm using RoboHelp 2022.3.93. Thank you.
