Is there any possible way to move the homepage ttile at the centre in the dark skin of Frameless Output ?

The hanging indent for numbered lists in my RoboHelp 2017 project do not show in the printed document output in Word. The bulleted lists are okay along with the rest of the printed document and also the Responsive HTML output. The hanging indent for numbered lists appear correctly in the review pdf that is created in RoboHelp. What am I missing?Thanks,Jose

Hi, I am wanting to have a nicely formatted output in Word. I have looked at both the online help and Peter's site for guidance and am still struggling with this.  I want to have a set of topics that will end up online and in a printed manual. However, I also want to be able to output a specific topic as a stand-alone document with a different appearance.  For example, if I were creating a book of recipes then I would expect pages of recipes. However, if I also wanted the option to generate a document with just one recipe, then I want the page to look different. The single recipe would have a flyer type of appearance vs a page in a book appearance of that same recipe in the full book output. Is this possible and where would I start?  Another idea I have wondered about is having the ability to print a topic from one of the other online outputs and have that output printed with additional print-only content such as a different header style, the addition

Hello,  I have RoboHelp 11 and have been publishing for years without issues.  The last time I published the search stopped working completely.  I found a discussion from several years ago that suggested I delete the .CHD file and republish. I deleted the .CHD file and that didn't do anything but break all my links.  Any other suggestions?  Thank you,

I had used RoboHelp 1017 for several years but I started a new job and they are using RH 2020. I've been trying to setup all my styles and I previously used the function "Style for following paragraph" when formatting styles. I can't figure out in RH 2020 how to do that. Side note I really don't like RH2020 because I'm not very savvy on html or css. The  RH 2020 you really need to be trained in using the code. Back to my issue, is it possible to set the next style to follow in RH2020? If I need to put it in the code how or where would I do that.Thanks,

I want to use the Indigo skin the titles of my TOC are too long and they are cutting off in the image? Apart from shortening the text, does anyone know how to make those images bigger to accommodate all the text? Can I change those images completely?

The first line of the numbered list in my RoboHelp 2017 project appears indented (incorrectly) in the printed document output in Word. The consecutive line numbers that follow have the correct margins. Otherwise, all content appears correctly as formatted in the Responsive HTML output. How can I fix this?Thanks,Jose

Hi all,Just wondering if a RoboHelp project has a "urls" file, similar to the TOC, Index, or Glossary files?Thanks!

I am using Rh 2020.4.173.  Previously in older versions of Rh 2020 I could pick the front of my text, go to Properties > General and type in the number I want to restart numbering.Now iwth version 4, I don't see that option.  In the image below, I have my cursor placed at the beginning of my line of text.

Is there a way to have topics that are not included in the TOC, included in the output?

Format: FramelessVersion: RH 2020 update 4I am not able to locate where I can adjust the table of contents (TOC) in the left panel of the topic page. Specifically, when I click the topic heading (hyperlink) in the TOC the link changes color. I cannot find where I can just the “on-click” color change to select the color I want. Does anyone have any insight on where I can find this?

I updated to latest update 20.4.0 and now I cannot Select line of Text and do Tab or Shift Tab to indent the selected text. I have not been able to locate the Indent feature for selected text in this lastest upgrade. Anyone know how to do indent of selected text (within a page) not part of a Header line or a table so not appropriate to use the indent feature from Styles features.Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Leona

So we are doing a trial of RH 2020 (we've been using 2019 for a couple of years and have recovered from the shock, mostly). When testing an import from Word to RH, everything works as expected EXCEPT the character styles and in-line formatting, which appear to be completely ignored. One problem is that the only available character style that RH seems to detect is "span." What I've tried, with no success:Formatted content both in-line and using a character style in Word.Used the template organizer in Word to confirm that my character style does, in fact, exist in the template that is attached to my doc.Saved the Word document as a template, and then applied the template to the same document (this was a Hail Mary, and it failed).Tried to import a couple of different docs.Checked Mr. Grainge's site.Read the RH User Guide.Wine.Thanks very much for any light you can shine on this issue. Here's an infographic! 

Is there a way to lock a Frameless Skin or other outputs similar to how you can lock content under the Author window? How exactly does RoboHelp 2020 maintain check in/check out status and version control priority if two people are working in the same project? There have been some issues with work being overwritten or not being saved properly between myself and another coworker.

Importing FrameMaker 2020 documents into RoboHelp 2020. In RoboHelp, every paragraph in every file starts with two bookmarks. For example, the first paragraph of the first topic (the title) has the following two bookmarks:496_Chapter_465649465649And the next paragraph (a body paragraph) also has two bookmarks:496_Body_465652465652 I can understand why the title has one bookmark (the orignal FM files has a marker for the TOC), but not two. And I don't at all understand why the body paragraph has one bookmark, let alone two. The original FM file does not have any markers in that paragraph. The whole document is full of these. Is there an import setting I need to specify to import/create bookmarks ONLY for the markers that actually exist in the original FM files?

After upgrading from RoboHelp Classic to 2019, paragraph styles are missing and an Application Error appears that reads "The application has run into an error. Please save your unsaved changes and restart from menu: Help > Restart RoboHelp"Any tips as to what's going on or what was done incorrectly? Thanks.

Just installed today's update 4, and immediately ran into problems. My master page uses the Chapter Title field in the header. When I generate PDF, the chapter title does not appear.To confirm, I downgraded to update 3 (2020.3.32). Using the exact same project, the chapter title shows in the PDF.Has anyone else had this problem?

I am on V2019.0.14. I have some topics that have both Topic level and Content level conditional tags. In the published help files, the topics appear for the correct audiences, but some of the tagged content within the topics appears when it shouldn't. When viewed in Authoring>Preview mode, everything shows up correctly. The problem is only in the published build, and only when there's a combination of Topic level and Content level tags. For example, the topic is meant to be seen by audiences called "Local" and "MA."The Output condition expression for audience "Local" is to include tags A or B or C.The Output condition expression for audience "MA" is to include tags B or D.The topic in question is tagged "B" at the Topic level and has some content tagged "A." In the published build, both audiences "Local" and "MA" see the topic, as expected, because they both include "B," but the audience "MA" also sees the content tagged "A," which they shouldn't. 

I am a new user and taking a course at the end of the month but this can't wait - I have figured out how to create Content tags, applied them to Dynamic filtering but when I select one option and then do a search it gives me all the results. I only want it to search based on my selection - what am I missing?Thanks!

I have RH2020 with update 4. Everything is good except the search in the header (top-right) doesnt work normal. When I click the magnifying glass icon and search anything the results are shown but aren't clickable.The search on the welcome page works as expected. The search results are shown and are clickable.Any idea how to fix this?

Hello, I have a question. We have a Frameless out of the Online Help (Studio skin).The Add to Favorites is a cool feature. The help is integrated in the product and only the logged in users can view the help in my case.If User A logs in and views the help, adds 5 topics to favorites and then logs off. User B does the same.Would User and A and User B be able to see the topics that they added to favorites upon subsequent login?

I want to publish the content in word format in the latest version of Robohelp. I only see the option to convert it as pdf. Please suggest.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has tried importing 3D CAD files into Robohelp and has had any success with it?

Is there a best output format for content that would be destined to a remote SalesForce KB where it is not possible to integrate directly with RoboHelp? I expect limitations such as internal linking, etc. that would not carry over. I am looking for a way to make it easier for someone to copy/paste or otherwise add the content into SalesForce without having to type all of the content in directly. Thanks in advance.
