Printed Documentation Name Field

We have a Help project (Robohelp 2017) that has a fairly long name; is there a way to make the name of the project break where we want it to? For example:

Research Administration

Research Administrator User Guide

instead of:

Research Administration Research

Administrator User Guide

 

thank you,

Lon Richardson

    There is nothing you can do at the RoboHelp end. If you are generating to Word, you can fix it there by changing the font size or use Shift Enter to get two lines without additional spacing in between. If PDF is what you want, I suggest you generate to Word, change it there and then generate the PDF.

     

    Generating to Word lets you tidy up other things as well, page breaks, table splits etc.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear; it's simply that the title for the Printed Documentation is:

    Research Administration Research Administrator User Guide -- that's how it goes into the Name field when setting up the Printed Documentation. However, on the title page, it appears as:

    Research Administration Research

    Administrator User Guide

    ... but we'd like it to appear as:

    Research Administration

    Research Administrator User Guide

    that's all.

    Break where?

     

    A screenshot might help. Please use the photo icon to insert images within the post. Some supporters will not open attachments for security reasons and if you do download, you are then not seeing the image inline with the text. Then thanks to a quirk of this forum you have to close the thread and reopen it before you can reply. Crazy but that's the way it is.
