RoboHelp

Hi,I am running RoboHelp 2015 on Windows 10 (64-bit). I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 (32-bit) installed on my system. Although Responsive HTML 5 is my project's primary output, I need to output it in Word format so several people can review and mark it up using Word's reviewing tools. (Those folks are not RoboHelp users.) However, when I select the "Printed Documentation" output option, RoboHelp displays this message:As I said, Word 2016 is already installed on my system. Is RH 2015 not compatible with Word 2016, or is there something I can do to point RH to my copy of Word?I realize this question has been posted several times in the past, but they are several years old and the fix for my situation may be different now. Thanks for understanding!Tim HuddlestonCharlotte, NC

We have Robohelp version 11.0.2.240 and need to know if it supports Windows 10. I cannot find the release date for our product in the about Robohelp menu. Note that we have a special standalone configuration, so maybe that is why the date does not show.

Hi all,I am currently working with my software architect to find the best way to toggle between different languages in the same help site using Responsive HTML. He did some research and found this Generating help in multiple locales using Adobe RoboHelp 10 | ADOBE GLOBALIZATION BLOG I proposed using Conditional Tags in my Help content, and filter between En, De and ES. I assigned the different languages at topic level within each book (Book 1 contains EN, Book 2 German etc) for each different languages, i.e. Book/Topic - DE, Book, Topic - En etc. And then create Conditional Tags based on the languages. I outputted this and seems OK, but the filters are kind of ugly and I just wanted to know if there is a more effective way using Responsive HTML?Thanks and kind regards,Luke Pivac

Is there any way to remove or change the words "Welcome to our Help Center" and "what can we help you with today?" in the Indigo layout? I can't seem to figure out how to do this! I am hoping I can modify this wording, otherwise this great layout is limiting.

Hi,When I create a PDF document for review in Robohelp (2015)v only the tracked changes show and not the comments. Previously I could view the comments too.

In Chrome, when I try to print a help topic from the screen (using R click > Print or CTRL+Print), Print Preview opens with all three frames showing and the page cut off more or less where the screen ends. No matter how long the topic is, I get one page with one screen's worth of content in the print preview. If I scroll to the middle of the topic, that's the part that appears on the page in the Print Preview, and when I print, that's all that prints. (It cuts off the TOC too if I have everything expanded past the bottom of the screen). This does not happen in FF or IE.I added a Print button in the header, but I would still like to fix this issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi all,I am facing an issue. After generating my project I find out that I lost Index, glossary and print images, both core image and hover!! I am going to layout setting and under Function bar I'm adding images again but nothing happening. It looks I have all default images in my project folder but they just can not pull up.Could you please help me about it.Thanks!!

Hi all,Question:  How can I incrementally add child projects to a master project without having to republish the master project and each and every child project each time?(I'm concerned with steps #4 and #5 in my list below). I should add that my master project will be essentially infinite, so the number of child projects will eventually number into the dozens or hundreds. I'm outputting to merged responsive HTML5.Thanks!MarkLet's say I have:A)  A Master Project published to a serverB)  Child Project 01 through Child Project 05 have merged project placeholders in the TOC of the Master Project C)  Each of Child Project 01 through Child Project 05 is published into their respective mergedProject folders in the output files of the Master Project.Example:Master Project (published)Child 1 (published)Child 2 (published)Child 3 (published)Child 4 (published)Child 5 (published)Now let's say that later, I want to add Child 6, Child 7, and Child 8 to the Master Project.As I u

Hi folks,Using RH 11.Has anyone successfully implemented Google's 'Custom Search' in their HTML5 Help project, replacing RH's supplied search solution?...and if so, how on Earth?I'm not talking about using Google analytics, but 'custom search' (Add search to your site - Custom Search Help)Google's page on this says If you've chosen the two column or two page layout option, you'll need to copy and paste two snippets of code:Paste the first code snippet where you want the search box to appear.Paste the second code snippet where you want the search results to appear.Our Web Dev has given me these two code snippets, but beats me where I'm supposed to put them (despite it sounding really obvious in the explanation).I imagine I'll have to remove the supplied RH search code too?

I have a book open in FM17 - cleaned up all paragraph tags, character tags, saved as FM17. RoboHelp 2017 crashes every single time I try to import the book as a project - it gets to the third  or fourth page and stops responding. It's only a 266 page book! I am using a book located on Google Drive - does RH not work across network drives? It's not worth the time and effort to keep trying to create new projects because RH will crash anyway. Are there any updates forthcoming?

I have numerous conditional build tags and they work wonderfully except ---- the hidden information becomes available when using the search feature. Can someone help with what setting I might be missing?

We license some fonts from myfonts.com for use in our Responsive HTML 5 help. The fonts are referenced in our main project .css and in the layout.css that controls the layout styles.At the top of both .css files we must include the following @1552174 code before the @11220649-face declaration for the custom fonts: @1552174 url("//hello.myfonts.net/count/xxxxxx");I believe this allows myfonts.com to track the number of page views that reference the font.In RoboHelp 2015, the fonts displayed as expected in the Responsive HTML5 output. However, after generating the same output in the trial version of RH 2017, the fonts only display for styles defined in the layout.css (such as the TOC). The main topic content does not load the fonts as expected and falls back to Arial, which is the second font specified in font-family attributes in our main project .css.In the Chrome dev console, there is an error message "Failed to Load resource: net:: " that references the @1552174 URL.Any ideas what co

I'm using RoboHelp 2015 Version 12.0.4.460 on Windows 7. I'm looking at the project in the RoboHelp viewer as well as Internet Explorer.I have created a Responsive HTML output with a custom layout and style sheet. This project also has a webhelp_pro layout that we used to use.My custom layout has back and forward buttons defined in the Functionbar (Desktop) along with the print button. They are actually the same as the charcoal grey layout as I based my layout on that. The print button is visible.My Window has Back and Forward buttons selected but behind the Back and Forward checkbox is (Skin: nameofskin). For example: Forward (Skin: Corepoint Skin 2011a). I don't believe the Responsive HTML5 uses skins but I haven't found a way to change that to use the items defined in the layout. I can't help but feel there is some conflicting information in the output somehow.Additional note: I've also tried it with one of the shipped layouts, Azure Blue, and I do not get the back and forward butto

Hi,My company is using RoboHelp since three years with four user licenses. We have 4 Product Help files written in RoboHelp, which is a huge write-up. We use the RoboSource Control to check in all our Source files. The version that was installed and last upgraded onto one of my team member's system was 12.0.2.384. This version is being used since three years.Recently three more writers joined the company and installed RoboHelp. By default, an upgraded version 12.0.2.428 has been installed on the three systems.Since one system comprises of the downgraded version which is being used for three years, my manager is more comfortable with the older version and feels riskier to upgrade to the higher version, as she is worried that the help files may comprise of broken links if upgraded. The write-up is also huge, and we do not have enough bandwidth to resolve any broken links or any other kind of issues. Also, it is riskier to depend on only one system comprising of the downgraded version to

Hi guys,When I run my help application, developped with RoboHelp 11 using Responsive HTML5 layout, I have the Ms-Internet Explorer message: 'Internet Explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls' If I click on 'Allow blocked content...', that message disappear, and everything works fine. But I want to find a way not showing this message.Thank you for your help.

I need to remove DHTML effect (Expandable Collapsible text) from over 100s of topics from multiple RoboHelp projects without losing the content added by applying these effects. Can anyone please suggest a script that I can run to bring all the content in plain HTML?

I am just starting with RoboHelp 2015, and I need some questions answered about how to get the output I want. We currently use RoboHelp 7, and generate HTML help as a chm.What we want now is to generate two separate files, one HTML5, and our webmaster would like to generate XML to automatically upload to the Web.We want the HTML5 version to be filtered, so we'll need to use conditional tags. The online version will contain everything. We want users to be able to filter the content once published.  We also want the output to be responsive. I want our Help to look like the Whirl example (I will create new CSS).I am thinking that both outputs will have to be HTML5 and our Web person is going to have to figure out how to automate uploading that to the Web instead of XML.  Am I correct in this? Thanks!!

Hi,We have one RoboHelp projects, one in french and one in English. For each projects, we have 6 different outputs (SSL) (contents specific for 3 different provinces and 2 server Live / Developpement). We choosed the the Blue Calibri Skin, we have RoboHelp Server 9,0,1 and every author have the same and last version of Robo client.We generate our 6 outputs (SSL) using the Batch Generation tool. All the output are configured exactly the same, except for the server choice and the Conditionnal constructions Tags. We publish with WebHelpPro output.We have problem with the output once it is published on the server.- Search bar does not appear- Boxes to select the "AND research" does not appear- Print button does not appear- Search results are better in the local version.- Font appear to be different in the search results- Indications in the Search tools are not the same (Type in your question VS Type in the word(s) to search for)Here is the differences between the version we have locally VS

Some of my projects come up with red underlined text of German words. Others pop up with English being red underlined.German would be the preferred setting in this case, but some projects seem to be set up wrongly, making English the spell checking is made in.

I'm planning to have Context-sensitive help for our application and we need to know the design & interaction options for CSH. Can I manage the pop-up size, add components & change structure or it's limited to the form used in RH help itself? Also, I need to know if there samples for CSH behavior &  outputs.

Basically, this keeps happening:Is there a way to keep this from happening in Responsive HTML5 output? I'm pretty sure this won't get past our QA, then we're really in trouble.

Hi,We are using RoboHelp to create Help files. Recently we came across an issue with hyperlinks. Different writers in the team work on different topics of the same help file. during release we merge the content and publish it. This time around we noticed, almost 80% of the hyperlinks are not working. This includes the links in the topics that hasn't been merged. We have fixed the issue by going through all the topics and fixing the links, but I am not able to find the root cause. These are not displayed in the Broken Links too.

RoboHelp 2015, output  Responsive HTML5.When I open the help in Internet Explorer, IE saysIf I allow blocked content, everything is fine. If I don't, the help won't open.But I didn't include any ActiveX controls. Is IE referring to all the javascript files? Or is RoboHelp including some ActiveX controls?Thank you.Julia
