RoboHelp

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.

IN RH 11 I changed the margins in whfbody,whgbody,whgdef, whibody and whdthtml. Leftmargin to 10, topmargin also to 10 and for whgdef also a rightmargin to 10. I made these changes in the folder so it worked for all the SSL/Webhelps I created.When I made a SSL/Webhelp these changes were visible. The margins are not so narrow anymore.But now in RH 2015 this seems not to work anymore.I tried to changes the margins in these 5 .html files but it is not visible in the SSL/Webhelp.Any suggestions?Aart

Hello all,I have two versions installed:RoboHELP 9RoboHELP 2015We are slowly transitioning our projects from RoboHELP 9. At the moment, I cannot uninstall RoboHELP 9, because I need it for some of my projects still.The problem I'm running into is this:The RoboHELP command line compiler, rhcl.exe, is not compiling all the topics.Our main help, when I compile it from within the RoboHELP application, is usually about 25 MB large. When I compile the same help using the RoboHELP command line compiler, it is only 4 MB large. That is a lot of missing content.Here's a smaller output showing the same problem:The compile log shows a bunch of these:HHC5003: Error:Compilation failed while compiling planner\Planner__Introduction.htm.I think the problem is that with the two versions that I have installed, it's trying to compile a RoboHELP 2015 project with a RoboHELP 9 compiler.I've verified that each version has its own rhcl.exe.I renamed the RoboHELP 9 one to "rhcl.exebak" so that it doesn't get u

I'm using RH 11 to generate HTML Help. When I go to File > Import > HTML/XHTML File... to import an html file, RH freezes. I have to use Task Manager to shut it down and re-start it. As soon as I click HTML/XLTML File... it freezes. Does anyone know what might cause this?

HiI've been asked about using Robohelp to create a Knowledge Base, and have therefore been having a look at this template for the first time.I can find very little information about this type of output, and wonder if anyone has experience of using it to create a KB from first principles? There are so many really super looking KBs out there, I have my doubts as to whether Robohelp is the best tool for the job; I'm still at the very early stages of investigation but from what I've seen so far, it all seems a bit basic.All and any advice would be most welcome 🙂Claire

I'm trying to show the navigation pane so that you can see the Table of Contents automatically. When I run my project on my server (not robohelp's server) there is a link called Show which I need to click to show the TOC.The image below displays when I run my WebHelp project on Rh2015 on my company server.This is the same project but running on my local PC.

My document goes down to 5 Levels Topic     Sub Topic          Sub Sub Topic               Sub Sub Sub Topic                    You get the idea I am sure,I have tried for 2 days to figure this out and I am baffled.  The screen is rather busy to work on (lots of things on it) so I feel that I am overlooking something obvious..  Please help.

Hi every one I added many HTML file to project. and saved change to project.

I have been using merged CHM files for years now, but all of a sudden when I open the master CHM, I can't see index words for my other merged projects.  From the TOC, I am able to open the topics.  Any suggestions?

I ran a Search and Replace just to locate help files where the word "codec" appeared.  I just clicked Find All and did not specify anything in "Replace With."It found two files.  I closed the Find and Replace Options dialog box, but the results window remains open.  It is located on my second monitor and the top part of the window is off the screen so I can't click a Close button in the title bar -- if there is one. I have closed and reopened the project,  Exited RoboHelp and rebooted my workstation.  The window remains opens.  Not only in the project where I performed the search but in every RoboHelp project I have tried opening so far. How do I get rid of this window? 

I'm using RH 11 and generating HTML Help. When I generate the chm file, I get all three of the tabs I want: Index, Contents, and Search. But if I change the chm file name, the tabs disappear and I get the Show or Hide button, which doesn't work.I'm changing the chm file name by clicking Single Source > HTML Help > Properties, and then changing the name in in the Outot folder and File name field.Why do my tabs disappear if I change the chm file name? The same thing happens if I change the name after I compile the chm file.

I'm hoping someone can help me. I ran into some problems with a robohelp project (yup, gambled and ran the project over a network and lost) but to make a long story short, I recovered an older back up of the project I had on my computer and then imported all the topics from the broken server version and I'm mostly back in business.The one thing I don't have though is the more recent TOC and Index Files. I tried just copying and pasting the .hhc and .hhk files from the broken project folder to the recovered project folder but when I'm in Robohelp I still don't see these TOC options?What can I do?

I am running RH10 with Source control.  I have a topic that has a red check to show it is checked out.  I open source control and is shows the topic checked out exclusively to me.  If I click check in all, I get this message, $/PATH/topic_name.htm is not Checked Out.  How can it say its not checked out when I have the red check next to the topic in the Project manager AND source control has a big red check with a status of Checked Out to you (exclusive)?Ideas?  It seems to be only with this one topic.  Other topics check in and out perfectly.Thanks,dv

RoboHelp 2015.Selected a hyperlink that is currently displayed in a frame with Page Default (none) as the value.Selected "Display in auto-sizing popup".Saved the change.Previewed the topic and clicked the hyperlink. The following screen shows the Script Error. Is anyone familiar with this problem? After I undid the changes and open again in Preview mode, there was no error.Thanks!Carol Levine

Hello,We are thinking about having 7 different projects and having all of them go through Version Control. I was wondering if it is possible for Version Control to handle that many projects. Currently, we have two projects going through VC.Thanks,Andre
