Question

Is it possible to define master page usage for a linked project?

Hello again!

I feel like I'm spamming this forum with all my questions, but I seem to be having a difficult time trying to find information on FM/RH integration.

Is there a way to define which master pages are assigned to the topics linked to FM files?

I don't really want to do this individually for each topic (I only have 2 master pages: one for the intro page and another for all other topics).

Even so, when I map a FM file manually to a RH master page, I get a warning message stating that any changse to the topic will be overwritten on the next FM file update.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Sue

Hi Sue

I'm a RoboHelp user and a big ole Frame ignoramous. So what I'm about to tell you comes from the RoboHelp perspective.

Indeed it would be VERY cumbersome if you had to associate a Master Page on a topic by topic basis. The good news here is that you have an ability in RoboHelp to select as many topics as you like and only make the association a single time.

Just open the Topic List pod. There you are able to select all topics by pressing Ctrl+A. From there you are then able to associate the desired master page.
