Printed Documentation RoboHelp 2017: Landscape option?

Is it possible to print a RoboHelp topic in Landscape format using Printed Documentation?

    Correct answer Peter Grainge

    Do you mean a single topic within an otherwise portrait document or to really generate a single topic? The latter seems unusual. Perhaps you are thinking of a user printing a topic but that would not be done via Printed Documentation?

     

    I think you should be able to create a single Word document by generating to a Word template set up landscape although I have never actually needed to.

    Hi, Peter!

     

    Thanks for responding. The project I'm referring to has only one topic. As I create both Word and PDF documents with Printed Documentation for all our projects, when I did with this one, the text was indented so far to the right that some of it was off the page. I thought if there was some way I could generate the PD in a landscape format, that would solve the problem.

    What I ended up doing was to open the Word document in the !SSL! -> Printed Documentation folder, save it in landscape, then generate the PDF document from that.
