Question

Is there a way to expand all drop-down text in a single topic in the editor?

I'm going through all the topics in a large RH10 project manually checking various things. A lot of topics contain drop-down text and to view the contents, I'm having to right click on each one and select 'Drop-down text properties'. Which is taking FOREVER. So:

a) is there an option to expand all drop-down text in the current topic? I'm sure I remember this from a previous version but can't find it now.

b) is there a keyboard shortcut to open drop-down text?

Please say yes.

I hope I understand correctly, but double clicking the dropdown also shows the content.

a) This exists only for output as far as I'm aware.

b) No standard one that I know of. Here's an overview of all shortcut keys: RoboHelp keyboard shortcuts « TechComm Central by Adobe

Kind regards,
