Popups Not Printing

Hi.

I am generating printed documentation of chapters in my help file that contain popups. When I check the printed documentation, it only contains the topics contained in the table of contents - none of the popups were included.

The particular chapter that I am printing, contains images of forms. I have defined each of the fields in the image as hotspots using RoboHelp's "Shed" functionality, so that when the user clicks on a field, its description is displayed on the screen as a popup.

I tried searching Peter Grainge's site to see if there was any information about how to get them into the printed documentation, but unfortunately our firewall is blocking the scripts that are being run on his site.

I am using RoboHelp Office X5 ver 5.0.1, MS Office 2000 SP 3 and the primary layout is in Winhelp 2000.

Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bryan

For that topic the only script is the menu!

The default print layout when you first go into it is the TOC for the online help. Nothing to stop you adding the other topics which you use as popups though.

Ok.

I obviously don't use this forum enough. The answer was provided by Peter Grainge, not by me!

Sorry Peter.

Hi Peter.

Thanks for the quick reply.

It's one of those "can't see the forest through the trees" events. I never even looked at the drop-down selection list. I just figured it would contain a list of the TOC topics, not all of the topics.

Cheers
