RoboHelp

When I add keywords in the "Search" section in topic properties and click Apply, I found it not saved.  For See also, I cannot edit the links although I've added See ALso Keyword. Am I missing something?

My company has recently migrated from RoboHelp 2017 to RoboHelp 2019.  In our .chm files, we have used tables with alternating row shading (white/transparent and light gray).  We've added more rows in the middle of a table and I now need to redo that shading. I have been able to add shading to rows but can't seem to remove the pre-existing shading. Has anyone else encountered this? 

Hello! Recently I had uninstalled and reinstalled Robohelp 2017. Now when I try to edit an image using "Edit with Roboscreen capture" option, Roboscreen capture does not respond. But when I directly open the application and make changes in it, it does reflect in Robohelp project. How can I fix this?Thank you..

I'm using RoboHelp 2017 (WebHelp as primary output). In one of our project, the Search button does not work in the QA environment, but works fine in Production.We've discovered that the problem lies in IE; everything works fine if we use Chrome.So, my question: Is there some way to address this in RH, i.e., address the issue of browser compatibility? Thanks,Lon

I am using the trial version of RoboHelp 2019 and I'm importing a Word document with topics created for each Heading 2.After import, the topics are listed in Contents alphabetically. I think this has always been the way. The interface provides arrows to move up/down to order the topics the way you want them in the TOC. Doing this process is mildly entertaining when you have a project or two. But when you have many projects, ordering the topics becomes time consuming.Is there a way for the topics to be imported in the order they exist in the Word document?

I am trying to create my list to look like this and can't figure it out. Please help!

Texts in published content are highlighted to identify the content as "new" or change from previous version of the same document.  Users need the ability to search for this content and display the topics where the content was highlighted.  Is this possible in RoboHelp 2019? Thank you in advance

I work for a company where we are converting a grouping of documents from a siloed division into RoboHelp 2019. I am the Technical Writer and so are in charge of this process. I am running into an issue however where when I import Word Files into RH 2019, I get through the Word Import Settings and all seems okay, however when I go to press Import, it processes for approximately 10 seconds (15 page document only) and then throws this Application Error. Has anyone else seen this beforehand, and if so, is there any suggested solutions?

I have a RH2019 merged project and I have made absolutely sure that the same style sheet is being applied to all the child projects that are contained in the overall merged project.    When I apply specific styles to text, however, these styles are not being applied consistently within topics for a single project or across projects. I have attached two screenshots showing this. In the first screenshot titled "Correct Indentation," I show a style named Listing and a style named list-result- bullet. They are being applied at the same level of identation as the numbered list steps in the procedure. In the second screenshot titled "Incorrect Indentation," I show the same styles, but they are NOT being applied at the same level of indentation.             I have confirmed ad nauseum that I have the correct coding set up in the CSS for the numbered steps, etc. in each project and there is no difference in the paragraph tag that is assigned to the num

Robohelp 2019.0.9 merged project - how do I specify what is the page that is to be open when a user opens the Online Help? I want the first page in the first child topic listed in the TOC, but right now, it keeps opening to the first page in the second child topic and I cannot figure out how to change this.

We use RH 17 and Robosource Version Control. For one of the user in my team, RH is adding a paragrapgh in bullet list. Also, it is not saving her work. What could be the reason and how can we resolve it? See the attached Bullets.png. 

I have been struggling to assist one of my technical writers with a continuing issue with her laptop failing to connect to our SharePoint Online site.  Somehow, the connection profile (Team_RoboHelp) on her computer had gotten corrupted.  If I go to "Open Connection," it would state (empty), but if I tried to create a new connection, it showed it still existed.To get around that, I uninstalled both RoboHelp 2019 and RoboHelp 2017 from her laptop, then reinstalled RoboHelp 2019.  Now, it shows no profiles, and I'm attempting to create a new Connection.Collaborate > New ConnectionName: Team_RoboHelpVersion Control: SharePoint OnlineSharePoint Site URL: https://ourcompanyname.sharepoint.com/sites/Team_RoboHelpHonestly, it doesn't matter if I type the correct SharePoint Site URL or just enter gobbledygook, because the second I click on Login, I receive the generic "Application Error," which requests that we restart the application.  It doesn't even TRY to contac

I'm trying to upgrade a project from 2017 to 2019. In 2017 a style could be set to use thumbnails however 2019 seems to do it on an image by image basis.  Is there a way to set all images to Use Thumbnail in 2019?

Hello, Is there any way to make a generated Responsive HTML5 TOC mirror the appearance of a generated Microsoft HTML Help (CHM) TOC? Or, to put it in other words, is there any way to maintain the appearance of the TOC as it is displayed in RoboHelp's Table of Contents pod (small font, collapsible purple books, question mark icons for topics, etc.) when generating a Responsive HTML5 output? Thank you for any tips/help that you may have to share. Best wishes,Cameo

Hi all,   We've been using Perforce for version control for our Robohelp projects for the last year or so with no problems. The P4SCC plugin from Perforce made it smooth and you could check in and check out and add new files and all that from Robohelp.   Then sometime in the last year, Perforce got rid of the P4SCC plugin in favor of something called P4VS, which apparently is something you open through Visual Studio. Unfortunately, we're all writers and don't know anything about Visual Studio. We discovered this when we hired a new writer and I tried to install Perforce on her machine.   Anyway, I know this is a Perforce thing, but that tool (and that tool's help) is written by devs for devs, and there's no clue how to make this new plugin work. The support people I talked to had no idea and suggested just checking in and out from Perforce itself.   I thought I would ask here in case any of you have walked this path before and found gold at the end   If not, th

I am using RoboHelp 2017.Currently facing a strange issue. When I generate an ouput and open it in the Chrome/IE browser some of the topics which are linked to their respective books (TOC books) are not displaying the content and show the following error message."It may have been moved or deleted" Why have I said this issue strange? When this output is shared with other person (The server machine or shared location that I can access) and I open the output from my machine no issues are found. It works perfectly! Why this issue occurs when I open the output files from my machine? Please help.

When I generate output, some images are not displaying on the content pages.I resolve this issue by resizing them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------But, this is not the right solution and why I am saying this is, some images with bigger size do not have this issue and displaying properly. The images that not displaying on the pages just takes some place and do not show any error and symptom of any image insertion on the page.

In RH2015, we have a snippet that is a heading with a blue border over it. Now that I'm working in the new UI of RH2019 (no updated installed at this time), I recreated the snippet and inserted it on my master page (which we also did before). The heading is "Related Information" When I create a new topic with the master page, the snippet is only partly there. I can see the blue border, but not the "Related Information" heading. The heading is also no present when I compile the project. I think the border is (I last compiled yesterday). I'm not sure what changed or what I've not done correctly? Thank you,Cindy 

The followings features are not working in IE 11:PrintAdd to FavoritesSearch highlightsAre there any solutions to fix this? Everything works fine in Chrome.

I inserted a new table into a topic. The table contains one column with step-by-step instructions. I'm having the following challenges with the table:After I copy-paste the text and use Numbered style list in the toolbar, the numbers appears double (see screen #1). I then click Ctrl-Z and it corrects itself (screen #2); however the numbers don't appear in the correct font.The numbers are not aligned with the steps (screen #2).When there's a Note in between the steps, I remove the numbering from it but I'm not able to align it with the numbered steps above the Note (screen #2).The numbered steps below the Note restart numbering when it should continue numbering (screen #2). I need help fixing these. I have many more tables to insert into different topics. Thank You!

Hi All,I'm using RH2019 new UI update 10 on Windows 10. Currently, I'm struggling with the Word output. I have many screenshots in my documentation, and in HTML5 output as well as in PDF output, the size of them is as I want it to be. However, many of the images (not all of them, though) are way too small in my Word output. When I open this image in an image program like Gimp, the size also looks fine.These two screenshots show what I mean.I am not sure if this problem is at all caused by RH, but maybe someone of you guys has an idea what I might try to get the images into my Word output in the correct size.Any ideas will be greatly welcome.Thanks and regardsKarin

Search results show only topic title that includes the keyword. I need to show Heading2 in the same page that matches the search without adding it as sub-node.For example, a topic called Posts and includes "Add files" in the same topic page as heading two. When searching by "Add files", I got the main topic title "Posts". Is there a way to to make search shows Heading two even if it's not a separate topic?
