RoboHelp

Hi,In RH 2015 is it possible to isolate the files that are published (i.e. files that have changed since last build)?What I'm trying to do is distribute just these files. We are in the situation where we distribute our application that is locally installed on our clients machines. We do this by sending a zip file for each build that overwrites changed files. Help falls in to one of these files, but sending a new CHM each time that is going to grow seems a but inefficient.What I'd like to do is distribute the help as html that is stored locally. But rather than resend the entire build, I only want to send the files (and folder structure) that has changed from the previous.Is there any way to get these files without manually trawling my own publish location?Thanks,Nick

Thank you!

I upgraded to RoboHelp 2015 from RoboHelp 10 and I am experiencing sluggishness while editing text, opening topics, and everything else. It is very frustrating to the point of being unusable. This is in the same project I was working on in RoboHelp 10. Other applications, such as Captivate, are working fine. Here are my system specs:Operating System    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1CPU    Intel Core i5 660 @ 3.33GHz      Clarkdale 32nm TechnologyRAM    8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz (9-9-9-24)Motherboard    Dell Inc. 0D441T (CPU)Graphics    DELL U2410 (1920x1200@59Hz)    DELL U2410 (1920x1200@59Hz)    1024MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 (Dell)    Storage    232GB Western Digital WDC WD2500AAJS-75M0A0 (SATA)   Optical Drives    TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653GAudio    Realtek High Definition Audio

When I generate webhelp, I get no errors but when I view the output, the navigation pane is empty.I'm using RoboHelp 10 and the problem occurs on IE 11 and Firefox 44.0.2. It doesn't open at all in Chrome but we don't support that anyway.What should I be checking?Thanks

Robohelp recognizes and displays .png files; however, in RoboHelp 2015 > Tools > Graphics Locator, .png is deemed "Not a valid graphics file." You can search for .png in the Search For field above - and it will locate all the files - but it will not display a preview of the file in the Graphic Preview box. Can anyone comment as to why?

Hi All,I generated my WebHelp to be 508 Compliant, but unfortunately it's including the names of images and bookmarks (see below).Is there a way to set the options for the WebHelp so that those things are excluded from the output?I was also wondering how RH comes up with the numbers displayed in 508 Compliant WebHelp.  I thought it could be the number of times the character/word is included in the help, but that proved to be false after searching my document.  I also thought it could be the number of pages that the character/figure appears on in the WebHelp, but that also wasn't true.  Does anyone have an answer on this?Thanks!

I have my feedback working with the javascript code below linked to an image. Problem is that only the html files in the root are showing my image. How can I get the pages in subfolders to also find the image?var mailSubject = 'Feedback on Offline Help File and/or Documentation'; var mailBody    = 'The page I was visiting was:  ' + location.href; var mailDisplay = 'Email Feedback'; var bodyline =  '%0A%0APlease add your comments here:%0A%0A%0A%0A%0A%0A%0A%0AThank you for your valuable feedback.' ; document.write(   '<a title="Send Feedback on Help File and Documentation" href="mailto:xyz@company.com'   + '?subject=' + escape(mailSubject)   + '&body=' + escape(mailBody) + (bodyline)   + '"><img src="./ImageRepository/feedbackicon.jpg" title="Email Feedback" border="none" alt="" /></a>' );

Hi!I've upgraded from RH9 to RH11. Now, when I paste images from clipboard they are saved as gif, resulting in low-resolution 8-bit images. Before they were saved as 24-bit jpeg. It doesn't matter where I paste the image from, they are always saved the same.I've tried to search for a setting where this applies but with no luck. Now I have to manually save the images and insert, resulting in alot more work.Does anybody know how to save the clipboard images as jpeg as they did before?Thanks!Best reg.Fredrik

In RBH 11.04.291, I am previewing a topic with two type of conditional text using the binoculars. I set the Conditional Build Tag Expression to one or the other, but regardless of my selection, the other conditional text remains.I've also tried using the Advanced build expression (instead of Not Condition_2, using Condition_1) with the same results.I previewed in Chrome, IE, and Firefox. Also the same results.

I have generated HTML Webhelp files via Robohelp version 9. However, I want the help to display in a single-pane viewer (with search field, home, print, and foward/back arrows displaying at top in the same pane with the help text) similar to the way online help is displayed in Microsoft Office 2013. Is there an online help viewer that can be coded to call my HTML Webhelp content to display in the single one-pane viewer? If so, how can I implement it?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have a separate TOC for Word output. All my topics are shown in it that I want in the word doc. Some of these topics are books with links in the TOC with further topics nested below them. The issue is that the content from the books is not showing in Word, just the heading. I've got some conditional build tags on content within those topics, but that is only on specific content. My TOC looks like this. Topic 1 - should have content but only shows the title.      Topic 2 - shows title and content.Topic 3 - should have content but only shows the title.      Topic 4 - should have content but only shows the title.           Topic 5 - shows title and content.When running through the generate options, I'm moving my TOC in to the Chapter Layout, removing the topic shown directly under the book so it isn't shown twice in my word doc. All this is OK. If I don't do this, I g

I am using RoboHelp 2015. All other styles are working. I changed one of the Heading 1 lines to a different style and it worked fine. I opened the .css and it all looks okay. Any ideas?Thanks.

Has anyone created a Robohelp system for customized software applications where each page and/or functions are based on the user's login.  Basically not all pages and functions (and the context help that goes with the specific function/page) should be visible by all users. I do not want a user that does not have access to a particular function in the application to have access to the help that goes with that page. 

Hello,I just upgraded everything: Win7, Office 2010, RH 9 from RH 8. I first installed RH8 on this new system so I could install RH9 as an upgrade. Once that was done, I uninstalled RH8. Now I can start RH9 and it opens Word to show my default opening document. The RH toolbars are visible in the Word pane, but none of the options are functional. When I try to open a different document in the project, I get the messages below. There are additional errors from Word, which has to close itself and open again with a restored document.I know from prior advice given here that it's past time to switch from RH for Word to RH HTML, but I would like to get comfortable with all these other upgrades before I make that step.Thanks for any help offered.Carma

Does anyone know how to clear the list of files in the link to baggage file list when you create a new TOC? I have linked several baggage files I am having a hard time seeing the whole name of the file.

How do you search for a bookmark using the search function of the output? Here's what I want to accomplish:Instead of multiple topics, I want one topic in which I will insert smaller topics via expandable text. My intent is to bookmark all of my expandable text so that if the user goes to the Search option on the output first, they can still find the expandable topic on the main topic page. You can search for bookmarks in RoboHelp itself, but not in a RoboHelp output! Any help would be much, much appreciated.

I tried going thru File>Project Settings but it does not change it...I opened a new project and put in a project title and it worked...I then tried changing that title using the Project Settings and it did not work...the documentation says this is the place to change the output title...I do not know how to get back to the opening dialog of the New Project Wizard so I can actually change it without having to open a whole new project and copying it into the new one...I do not want to do that......

Hello , I need help! , Robohelp 2015 not let me install it on my pc . Anyone have any idea why?

Hi,I've searched through many posts, but did not see this issue. I have changed almost all of my styles (text indents and margins only), and would like to know how to apply these changes to my entire project. The styles were not renamed, the CSS is correct in all topic properties, but I am having to go through every page in my project and manually re-apply every style as the changes do not apply. I have fastidiously gone through the CSS to ensure the stylesheet matches what has been set up in the Styles and Formatting pod (a lot of times it does not, so I have to fix the stylesheet). Is there an easier way to apply style changes to the entire project?Thanks,Pam

Now that I am enamored with RH 2015's Responsive HTML output ... Is there - or might there be in the near future - a version of 2015 for multiple writers to collaborate on one project simultaneously (without checking out / checking in)?  Thank you.

I've successfully used the Printed Documentation before (although that was with RH 11; I'm using RH2015 now), but today when I try to use it, I get this:of course MS Word has been started on my computer; I've used it dozens of times this week alone. Also, where do I click "Start using Microsoft Word" ... and why, since I'm trying to create a PDF file?thanx,Lon

Sorry for re-asking this. I know I asked it before but can't find it.  My CTRL+W stopped working.  I tried the ALT+space bar, M, move cursor arrow tip, but that did not work.  I remember seeing an option update the registry but cant' find it.  What was the registry update process to resolve this issue (or is there a different, better way to resolve it)?  Thanks.
