Question

Text from Design view is not visible on View

I converted a project from RoboHelp 9 to 11, and discovered that several of my topics were changed.  Most of the changes were minor, e.g. spacing, bold type, bullets, etc., but I'm still having to go through each page, to make corrections.  Oftentimes, the "problems" don't show up until I View the topic, but up to this point I've been able to fix them.  However, one topic looks fine in Design view, but when I open it in View, almost all of the text is gone.  I've tried retyping portions, to see if it reappeared, but not all of it does.  Do you have any idea what is happening and how I fix it?

    Hi there

    Try selecting some of that text. Preferably at the beginning of the text that disappears. Then click the HTML button to look at the code.

    Screen capture that and share it here using the Camera icon.

    Cheers... Rick

    Thanks for responding – but I think I just found the problem. Apparently, the conversion changed the color of the text to transparent. When I restored it, the text appeared in View.

    Regards,

    LOL, so it was exactly as I expected we would see.

    Nice catch! Rick
