mapping styles issue
Hi All
My name is Caryn Drovie. I am a technical writer and i have used Robohelp HTML in the past but new to 9.0
I am having some issues I cannot resolve that I will try to explain but I think if someone can use a program like "Show my PC" and look at my PC it will be quicker and easier to troubleshoot. The project I am working on was a former writers and I am trying to modify and work with his c.s.s and styles and templates. Here are my initial questions first:
CSS
1. I first began to edit the default c.s.s and add styles - was that wrong? Should I take those out? I had changed to his new c.s.s he had created.
2. Should the styles I create and use map the styles in the c.s.s and in the write area in the c.s.s properties page.
3. What do I do with the styles in c.s.s I am currently not using but may use in future?
Styles
1. I have lots of styles the previous writer created. I have not used them all but I might in future, do I delete the styles not used?
2. I notice that when I am trying to map a style my style drop down info does not always match my style pod info and shows in gray shaded in drop down?
3. The client I am working from wants me to do the following, can it be done because it is not working for me? They want me to create process steps. no table, and use 3 styles in a row. First style is numbering, second is result paragraph and 3rd is screen shot. But when I modified existing styles and apply the styles all detail moves and does not align properly. I have tried to apply none style to clear styles and reapply but no matter what I do it does not work. I do not want to type numbers directly or play with the indents. My goal is following example lined up and spaced out nicely:
1. This is the first step
Result: this is the result alwhere all lines are aligned
Screen shot aligned
Can you please help me?
thanks
Caryn Drovie
