I work on a Robohelp 11 project that is located on a windows 7 machine. My company's IT department is mandating I move my project along with the Robohelp 11 software to a new Windows 10 supported machine. How do I get the Robohelp 11 software and Project transferred to the new Windows 10 machine? I do not have the Robohelp 11 software install nor I know where the license is. This Robohelp 11 project and the windows 7 machine it runs on, was setup over 10 years ago and the folks that set it no longer work at my company. Has anyone out there had a similar experience that can offer some advice? Thanks for your help!

Upgraded a project from RoboHelp 2017 to RoboHelp 2019.12 New. After the 2019 Classic to 2019 New step in the upgrade process, I lost the multilevel list formatting in my topics. BEFORE:1. This is my first outline level 1 step. a. This is my first outline level 2 step. b. This is my second outline level 2 step. i. This is my first outline level 3 step. ii.

I want to create a TOC for my responsive HTML5 output in which the TOC defaults to already being expanded. Instead of this . . . . . . we want this to be the default. Can this be done? Thank you!
We have published Update 13 for RoboHelp 2019. Go to Help > Updates to update your version. Here are more details about this update: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/fixed-issues.html.
I have tried to search the forum, and I find posts about multilevel lists, but I could not see anything matching my problem. I am using a multilevel list in RH 2019 (new design), and when I go from the second to the first level there is an empty line (parapgraph) added between the levels (see screenshot). I am not able to remove it by deleting it in a normal way. Anyone else experienced this or any ideas how to solve it?
I have many images in my project for which I must create an image map. Some of these images have callouts that were created with the images and the callouts are just Arabic numerals and the map areas are these callouts. Other images have map areas directly on the images - no callouts. Each image map area links to a topic. Whatever the situation, when I preview any image with a map defined, and click the indicated area, the map is dead nuts on . . . but if I view the image in actual output in a browser, Chrome, Mozilla, etc. then large swaths of the map are shot to heck in a handbasket . . . so many of the clickable areas of the image are so far removed from the actual locations from which I defined them that it renders the image map useless. I totally understand that the Preview mode is not a completely accurate representation of the final output, but in this case, there is no correlation at all between where I define my image maps and where they wind up in
Robohelp noob here. I recently started learning RH2019 with a Trial version, and for my first project, I decided to go with a Dark theme. Edited the stylesheet in the following format: Headings= Teal, Theme color= Teal, Body font color= white (so that it's visible in the dark background). However, styling the body text in White poses another problem; once the style is applied, the same shows up in the "author" area too. As the Author area is already White, the text becomes invisible. Is there any workaround for this? Like, keep the text color dark in the stylesheet and somehow override it to White in Skin; OR just make the author area dark? Any help is appreciated. Update: Added a dark shading to the body style. It works for now. Still not the most ideal solution, it seems.

Here are more details about this update: https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/fixed-issues.html. UPDATE There is a problem with Update 13 that affects Classic users only.

I've recently installed RH2019 and I'm trying to self train as a new user to this product. The quick-start tutorials (https://breezetraining.adobeconnect.com/rh2019-quickstart/) suggest that you can follow along with the exercises in the video by requesting a link to download the exercises via email. I sent a link to the GMAIL address provided early this week, and haven't heard or seen a thing. Can anybody out there point me to where I could find these? I think I'd take away a lot more if I could follow along rather than just watching the video. Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to have the "Part TCP0667-01" shown in this Master Page footer align flush right? (The copyright should be flush left) I thought I had this resolved by making the footer a 2-cell single-row table. Align copyright left and Part right. It works, except that I still can't make the table bordes transparent. I selected "table" in teh breadcrumbs and set all borders to transparent (see pic). They still are black in the HTML5 output.
I am working with some tables where I want to copy/move some rows from one table to the other, but it seems I am not able to select more than one row at a time. Is this correct, or have I missed something? Regards,Rannveig
I am new to RoboHelp (9) and have successfully created an index by following one of the online tutorials. It occurs to me that if index words can only access target files at the topic level, their use is somewhat limited. Is it possible to, for example, index a section within a topic, such as a h1 or h2 or some bookmarked word or phrase using RH indexing feature, and if so, how would one achieve this? Thanks.
I recently got RH2019 and updated it to version 2019.0.13. I've tried to upgrade my RH2015 projects (two of them for a total of some 2000 files, some 500 .HTML topics, and a lot of supporting .docx and .pdf) and could not generate Responsive HTML output (the only output I'm interested in) in RH2019. NO broken links in the existing projects. After much reading, I generated the Broken Links report, and was dismayed at the number of them in the 2019 version. SO I moved the projects to the 2019 Classic version, NO ISSUES, NO Broken links, Responsive HTML output came out fine, even when the program reorganized my project file structure. Move that to RH2019, same problem: hundreds of broken links.After much thought, I convinced myself that I would, in the long run, benefit from reconstructing the projects file by file, that way we (myself and the other editors) could go over them and check everything for relevance and timeliness.So I started a new project by importing the company logo to use
HiI am working on RH2017 and I have come across a very weird issue. I am using SnagIt to capture images and then adding to the topics via Insert Image. I also have a style created for my images, width – 801px and height - 435px. Once I apply the style and generate a Responsive HTML output, the images get stretched.If I insert the image and do local formatting by inserting the same width and height given above and on generating an ouput the images stay intact.Is there something I am doing wrong?Does RH2017 does not render the expected output based on image styles?Is it because I am using SnagIt to capture images. Do I need to use Robohelp’s screen capture tool?
Hi RoboHelpers! I'm using the latest RH 2017 on Windows 10. For some reason, my preview window stopped working today. My usual configuration when my laptop is docked with my docking station is to have my laptop's monitor hidden (laptop is closed) and I use my two external monitors instead. Yesterday, I used RH with my laptop monitor visible and another external monitor working in a different location. I used Ctrl + W preview just fine yesterday. Today, I plugged my laptop back into the docking station. But now the preview window never appears. The busy cursor flickers like it's trying to load it, but I suspect it might be somewhere off my visible dimensions. I tried restarting RH. I tried restarting my computer, and it's still the same. I then tried following this post and restarting RH but the preview window is still not appearing anywhere visible.https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp/help-preview-topic-has-stopped-working/m-p/855903?page=1 The preview
RoboHelp 2019 New UIIs there a way to have the title of a warning, along with its icon automatically formatted and recalled (style, variable, etc.)?For example, can I select some element in RH and automatically get the icon and "WARNING:" (red circled portion of image below) to populate so that I only have to type in the variable text each time?
I have a Responsive HTML 5 project that RH won't open. When I click the project on the Project Starter page, I get a message in the lower-left corner that says, "Opening Project Microservices Help.xpj..." I also get a blue circle that spins while RH tries to open the project. I'm using Windows 10. I've waited for about 30 minutes several times and I never get an error message. I just keep seeing the blue spinning circle. Have others had this problem? I'd appreciate any help I can
Hi guys, So I'm working on an older project that was initially created in 2016 somewhere, I believe. Through the years this project was upgraded and chopped and changed and pushed through so many versions that it's a bit of a headache to work on, but I have to do what I have to do. So one of the issues I have with this project, currently upgraded to the latest RH2019 version, and on the new layout, is that RH would place random <span> tags in places in the HTML code. I believe this is due to changes between then and now, in how the software handles and generates code from the text side, as it's not an issue on newer projects I'm working on. Anyway, those random tags often create extra spaces between words, icons and other elements on the page. In the earlier versions of RH (I checked and see it's still on RH2017) there was an option to see spaces and paragraph markers (formatting marks). Paragraphs (line breaks) are indicated by the pilcrow
I am generating JavaHelp 2.0 compressed with source files. After generating, I view the .hs and everything is fine and TOC appears as it should. When I provide all the files to the software developer and the JavaHelp is inserted into our application, the help file launches and the default page (Welcome) appears but the TOC does not appear. We have been using the same process for many years; the only thing that's changed is I had been using RH 9.0 which I had to delete due to company security concerns and I had to purchase RoboHelp Classic 2019. Please help.
Hello all,I'm looking for a way to integrate RoboHelp topic within the current page of the user. Or even better, to split help per component of the page and load it when the user click a `?` button of the component.I'm using Angular but getting some info for any SPA would be great. Thank you.
Has anyone been able to get Robohelp 2019 (Version 14.0.12) to work with Sharepoint? My IT guy and I have spent two head-banging hours using the following instructions - https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/using/sharepoint.html - to no avail.When we get to the part about downloading a project from Sharepoint, all that is downloaded is a .rh folder that contains a single .json file despite the in-application message that displays in RH: Project downloaded successfully.I am working locally in RH (Win 10, 64 bit) and I access my client's secured Sharepoint site using corporate supplied credentials. I am not on VPN to access Sharepoint. I have read through previous posts on this and tried to put it all together, but the last round of posts are from 2018 and a much older version of RH 2019, so I am at a loss to determine what is relevant and what is not. Any and all advice is sincerely appreciated. Regards, TVB
I have been having a problem with snippet (.hts) files being included in the generated Webhelp folder. The snippet files are not needed in the generated output and I can delete them manually and the help displays correctly. But I can't figure out how to stop them from generating in the first place. At one point they appeared as baggage files. I delete the baggage files and duplicated the snippets with a different name. But they keep appearing in the generated output folder. It doesn't happen with all the snippets in my project; only a couple of them. Probably the last two I created. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?
