What would cause 1 or 2 letters on the left side of the designer or viewer to be cut off? Also, text is now on top of the bullets in preview mode.

I am investigating converting our ancient .chm help into Responsive HTML5 help. I am looking an William van Weelden's blog on the topic (Merging Multiscreen HTML5 help). I'm hoping it applies to Responsive HTML5 as well.My question relates to output folder structure. His structure looks like this:My application comes in two modes (say Mode A and Mode B). Therefore, I have conditional text in some topics for Mode A and Mode B. Should I create output folders under each Child project for each mode? If so, do I have to create them under each screen profile folder as well (so far I am not sure which profiles I will need other than desktop). I am using RoboHelp 11.0.4.291.

Hi Everybody, As a part of my work, I need to show glossary as pop-up in the robohelp project. Now, I tried with Glossary Hot-Spot wizard in RoboHelp 7.0, but it is expanding the glossary content and its not showing as a pop-up. Pls let me know, if anybody knows how to fix this issue. Help will be highly appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Ruziyo.

I have both versions 2003 & 2007 installed. Word2003 is my primary installation. But RH shall use Word2007. Just setting the default application and/or "Open With" does not help! How to solve this?Remark: "Repair 2007" is *NOT* what I want to do, as then Word2007 opens all .DOC files per default!

How can I expand more than one book at the same time? How can I expand all of them at the same time too?

Hi guys,I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, but I just want to confirm I'm not missing something.I want to add a topic TOC immediately below the first heading of every topic. The only way to do this is to manually add the placeholder to every topic (either through RH or via a find and replace on the html), right? It's not possible to do using a master page or anything?Thanks in advance.

I have been fighting with the RoboHelp command line for days. We have an existing help product that we can generate from the Project IDE consitantly. We set up our layouts, assign the ones we want to build in batch mode. Then build and validate them both generated in batch and one at a time. But when whe run the command line, "RHCL myproject -b" it does not generate the same results AT ALL. It looks like we are running the layouts that are assigned to be run in batch mode (we can see the out put going to the correct locations under the correct names) but the result is just not the same as we get when whe execute batch via the IDE.Does this actualy work? Is this a feature that only works properly in RoboHelp 10?Does anyone have any positive experiance running the RoboHelp from the command line ?

How do I remove, not just hide, "In This Topic" from my guide?

Using RoboHelp HTML 11.I've just started using Responsive HTML5 on a desktop in Internet Explorer 11. I was wondering why this layout had no sidebar on the left, until I happened to expand the browser window to nearly full width of the screen. That's when it finally appeared. Is there any way to control the point at which the sidebar appears or disappears?

i am trying to do a batch generate but nothing happens. I notice that the status says "out of date"out of date means location has changed since last batch generate.is there a way to point my project to the right location so that I can batch generate??

Greetings, When we opened RoboHelp (10) this morning, the Generate option had disappeared from the File menu. It was there and working yesterday when we closed the project. We have tried all the obvious fixes (File > Customize...), resetting to defaults, etc. The project will NOT let us simply drag the option back to the File menu or to the toolbar. I was able to create a shortcut key in order to gain access to the function, but I want it back in the menu as an option. Ideas, anyone? Thanks!!

I plan to use RoboHelp to generate printed output on various size papers.Where do I set the page size and margin widths?

On the Generate Native Mobile App screen, the SETUP tab wants to know where to find SDK's for PhoneGap, Android, JDK and Apache Art, but the default DOWNLOAD links have changed and don't lead to the expected pages.  Can someone help with current URL's? Thanks much,Bill Arnold

I have an older Help project that is having formatting problems with non-IE browsers. I previously was able to work around those issues by using the "Convert RoboHelp Edited topics to HTML." However, RH11 is now adding a reference to "http://www,w3,irg/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" in the output of every topic that is messing with the format. Is there any way to suppress RoboHELP from adding this reference in published topics? It is part of the DOCTYPE tag at the start of each topic. I can manually delete each reference, but I have hundreds of topics...

There is no provision for adding automatic numbering to the images in Robohelp 11

What I have in mind is a minimalist output that would just include the relevant topic and Table of Contents, but without the top bar. The Help files could then be accessed in the same way as standard WebHelp, but would have the required aesthetic style. Could anyone advise on the best way to achieve this in Robohelp please?

I am using RH 10, appropriately patched, running WIN7.And I am losing my tiny mind.I have maybe 15 map numbers that link to bookmarks within topics.They used to work.Now they throw this error :HHC3015: WarningI have:- destroyed the .cpd- burned the .xpj- recreated the project, phoenix-like, from the .hhpStill getting the error.Any ideas?Thank you for your time, Cara Bereck Levy

RH11 This question is about webhelp best design practices for tables. Is there a guideline for selecting table options that work best with browser displays, printing, and usability?We typically set tables to 100%, but are considering autofit. While 100% is consistent, "autofit to content" seems easier to read. If using both, when is "autofit to content" the best choice?Would appreciate your experience in choosing options and user feedback.Thank you

I'm importing topics from RoboHelp 9 to RH 11. I have a folder holding all the main & sub-folders (let's call it MAIN Folder). Nearly every time I import a topic into one of the lower folders, I get a MAIN Folder along with it, which I cannot delete, so I rename it Extra Folder1 (on up to 6 so far). Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?Thanks.LonR

After implementing the solution provided for the question 'Responsive HTML5 Output: How to auto adjust the screen resolution for all devices?', the function bar in output does not appear and also another vertical scroll bar in the output. I edited the max-width value in the layoutfix.min.css file and fixed the function bar issue. How can I do away with the additional vertical scroll bar?

Using RH 11.0.4.291 (integrated with FM 12, although I'm not sure whether that's relevant)Hi allI've got a couple of child projects merged into a parent project, everything working fine in desktop view, but when I resize the window to check all is OK in tablet and/or mobile views, I'm getting 'File not found' errors when I click particular topics in the TOC. These same topics work absolutely fine from the desktop TOC.In case it's relevant, the offending topics are always the top level ones (which is obviously not good!). The 'File not found error' shows that the TOC link is failing to look in the correct mergedProjects folder for the topics, although it is looking in the folder that holds the child and parent projects... Other links, browse, search, etc, all seem to work OK. It's definitely something to do with merging as I've checked that the problem doesn't arise if I publish the projects to their own directories, rather than merging them.Any clues as to which file(s) I should look a

i'm currently developing output for Sharepoint and looking at using the Responsive output option. The only issue is when I publish a Multscreen output, and upload it into Sharepoint, and open the sharepoint multiscreen output it opens up within the sharepoint screen.BUT, if I publish a Responsive output, and once again upload the files into Sharepoint, and then open the index file, it opens it opens in a full browser view, not sitting in the Sharepoint screen. Is there a way to change it so it sits within the sharepoint screen?Thanks, Simone

I have a lot of image files that need to move them to a ScreenShot folder in the Project Manger, but I can't select multiple files with the Shift key for example and need to move them one by one? Is there an easier way?
