RH 9.01 Table Captions Format Problem

  • June 2, 2011

I created WebHelp in RH 8 / TCS 2.5. The table captions are fine, Arial, Blue, Italic

I made a few minor updates to the table contents (not the caption) in FM 10 / TCS 3.0.

I open the project in RH9 / TCS 3.0 and regenerate.

The table caption is Times Roman black.

I cannot modify the table caption format to be anything else besides Times Roman black.

The RH files show the correct format.

Here's what I tried:

I tried manually inserting a table and formatting the caption.

I tried creating a CHM file instead of a WebHelp file. Same problem.

I tried with two different projects. Same problem.

I did not try creating a new project.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Thanks for any clues.

I tried attaching screenshots here, but I must have some IE setting disabled because nothing happens when I click the camera.

I'll begin by saying openly that I'm a big ole Frame ignoramous. I'm a RoboHelp guy.

I find that in order to specifically style my table captions I first need to edit the CSS file using Windows notepad. Pop the following code somewhere in the file:

Once you do this your Styles dialog will have a caption entry in the Other category that you may format.

Seems to work on my own setup. Hopefully it will work for you.

I also tried formatting a paragraph outside of the table and it works fine. It has something to do with the fact that it's a table caption.

THANK YOU!

This works perfectly.

I figured I needed something called caption, but when I tried to add it in the Styles dialog

directly, it wouldn't let me--said there was already a caption paragraph style.

I tried this with both of the projects and it worked in both of them.

Thanks again!
