Question

Need to remove.. Chapter_xx

Hi,

I am new to RoboHelp7, and currently working on a WebHelp project. In my project I need to generate the Printed Documents output (to word) from my htmls. Everything looks fine except two issues.

1. It automatically generates documents with Chapter_xx_name of the topic.doc, where as my requirement is to remove "Chapter_xx" from generated documents names. For ex. if my topic name is 10_20_30.htm then generated document should be 10_20_30.doc and not Chapter_01_10_20_30.doc.

Is it possible and if yes then how?

2. I need to create a template (For printed output),with the if not completely then almost matching the styles of my topics. It should not take default template. Because default template is not preserving settings in a consistent manner. I know we can create our own template but how?

Looking for your support.

Thanks,

Nitin

If you create a new project and generate your printed documentation using either the CSS option or RH's own Style Mapping template, it does not generate Chapter nn. The fact that you are seeing this suggests you are using a home brewed template that has been set up that way.

See the article on Printed Documentation on my site. I recommend you use the supplied Style Mapping template and use Word's Organiser to import the styles or modify that template direct. The supplied template will hold its settings. I don't know what is going wrong for you. There are some limits, such as not being able to apply headers and footers.

I have seen many people create their own template and hit issues they don't hit when they modify Style Mapping to give the same results. All explained in my article.

Ok but I have tried with all three options and got the same results in terms of name of the output docs, which is Chapter_xx_something.doc

1. [None] Use the projetc's CSS style

2. Use Microsift word templates

3. Style Mapping .dot

all three generates the topics starting with Chapter_xx (Where xx is 01 or 02.. so on). My thought is it must have set this setting somewhere in my project, and that can be updated to remove the Chapter_xx. can you please hint me about that?

Are you perhaps generating multiple documents on the first page? Select single document.
