Tables in RoboHelp 2020 Frameless Output are sometimes truncated in Online Help

Hi, I upgraded a RoboHelp Classic 2019 project to RoboHelp 2020. In RoboHelp 2020, I use 12 pt; but in Classic I used 10 pt. Sometimes, tables in my Frameless output are truncated. (1) If I change the font in RoboHelp 2020 to 10 pt, will that fix the issue? (2) If so, is there an easy way to change the font for just this one book (not all of them)? If so, how? (3) Or, must I go through each topic manually and change the font? Thanks for your help!

    You'll probably find a discreet scroll bar at the bottom of the centre panel of your help. The centre panel and right panel are fixed widths and the centre panel will be hidden under the right panel when the content is very wide.

     

    The scroll bar is kind of skinny and unobtrusive and if your topic is very long you have to scroll right to the bottom of the page to see it. Here's a screenshot of one.

    For reference, that table is set to 100% width, not a fixed pixel width.

    You could apply a different CSS to the relevant topics or apply a different master page that is linked to a different CSS.

     

    I am wondering though if the font is the issue. Do the tables have a width setting that is causing the issue?
