From the example you sent me it does not appear that the text is in a table and the "frame" you mention is just the section of the CHM file window and is not part of a frameset. Can you tell us how the text was entered? What style has been applied? Also is it just the one topic that has this problem?

Hi Colum,
I am sorry for the missing information, and my wrong description of the problem.
I will start again with fully description of the all scenario.
I started new project by importing words documents into RoboHelp Html format.

When I generate the project to chm file I saw that the text style all over the project isn’t wrap accordantly to the size of the frame.

The text with the wrapping problem is in "Times New Roman" font

Whatever the problem, it's likely due to how those paragraphs were formatted in Word. The RH conversion usually only reflects what was done there.

Are you comfortable inspecting the underlying HTML code (the RH TrueCode tab)? I think you'd find some type of SPAN tag or STYLE attribute that is determining an absolute paragraph width.

Otherwise, you could try this experiment:

1. Strip the base Word doc to a moderate size, but which includes at least one of these non-wrapping paragraphs.
2. Select All and press Ctrl+spacebar (this removes all formatting from the selected text).
3. Import that Word doc to RH and see how it looks now.


Good luck,
Leon

Have you set your frames to be a percentage of the total frameset size? If your text is in a table, it is also worth checking that the columns are also set to a percentage value.

Hi,
First thanks for your quick answer.
how can I set my frames to be a percentage of the total frameset size?
The text that i am talking about is not in any frame or table its a simple text.
Can i send you an email with the print screen of the problem?
