Rh 11 Printed Documentation: How to shorten the gaps/spacing between topics

Hello all in RoboLand,


I am using Rh 11 and Word 2013 on a Win 7 machine.

I need assistance in finding a way to shorten the gaps between help topics that are generated (print documentation) from Rh (using a Word template). Please refer to the example (image) below, as well as my Styles settings below image.


Thank you,

~PM

Attempts made in Word, which were unsuccessful are as follows:

- Keep Lines Together (on/off)

- Keep With Next (on/off)

NumberList Setting Rh 11 Styles - Formatting/Multilevel list

  1. Level 1 Style: Paragraph Style: blank, List Style: Decimal 1 2 3, Edit Style: <x>, Font: Arial/10pt

     a. Level 2 Style: Paragraph Style: blank, List Style: Lower-alpha a b c, Edit Style: <x>, Font: Arial/10pt


FlexiNumberList Word template Styles - Formatting/Multilevel list

  1. Level 1 Number Position: Number alignment: Left, Aligned at: 0.15", Text indent at: 0.3"

     a. Level 2 Letter Position: Number alignment: Left, Aligned at: 0.25", Text indent at: 0.4"


Rh 11 - Heading 2

  • Formatting: Font = Arial, Font style = Bold, Size = 14pt, Highlight = Automatic, Font color  = Automatic (black)
  • Spacing (Font): Normal, Position = Baseline
  • Advanced: Style = Normal, Weight = Bold, Overline = Off, Font Sets = Agency FB
  • Style: Normal
  • Paragraph: Alignment = Left
  • Indentation: Left = 0pt, Right = 14pt, Special = none
  • Spacing: Before = 14pt, After = 14pt, Special = none
  • Line spacing: Single

Word - Heading 2

  • Style Properties: Name = Heading 2, Style type = Linked (paragraph and character), Style based on = Normal, Style for following paragraph = Normal
  • Formatting: Font = Arial, Font style = Regular, Size = 14pt, Font color = Automatic (black), Underline style = none
  • Paragraph/Indents & Spacing: Alignment = Left, Outline level = Level 2
  • Indentation: Left = 0", Right = 0", Special = none
  • Spacing: Before = 18pt, After = 6pt, Line Spacing = Single
  • Paragraph/Line & Page Breaks: Pagination = Window/Orphan control + Keep with next + Keep lines together, Tight wrap = None

The gap you are seeing is because of the style definitions. I am assuming the gap looks right in Rh.

The gap is the total of the Spacing Before of Heading 2 plus the Spacing After of the list style. Experiment with those two until you get something that is acceptable and also works when lists are not followed by Heading 2 and Heading 2 is not preceeded by a list. Good luck with that.
