RoboHelp

After moving a set of merged projects and master project in SVN, the merged index is not displaying on any machine but my build machine.  From posts in ASA Designer, this is apparently a known bug.  A workaround to manually fix the master hhp by removing the path to create a relative after opening the Generate dialog works.  A fix is suggested to modify the cpd file in Access.  Is this your recommendation, or is there another known fix for the problem? I'm hesitant to start messing with the cpd file.

I have a user manual in Word that uses outline autonumbering for Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. For example, "1.0 Introduction," "1.1 System Settings" and so on).I know when setting the conversion settings for FrameMaker, you can select the Ignore Autonumber option in the Conversion Settings dialog to keep only the paragraph content. I don't see anything like this for the Word Conversion Settings. Does this capability exist?

How can I remove the Powered by message in the output (HTML) in RoboHelp10?

When I try to use the autoscroll feature in RoboScreenCapture it stops before the end of the screen and only captures what is visible on the screen. What can I do about this? I am using RoboScreenCapture 2. Thank you.

RH11 | WebHelpI'm looking to switch our WebHelp to a responsive layout. Does anyone know if it's possible to add custom buttons to the Function bar? It doesn't look possible via RH, so can it be done by modifying the output files?ThanksJonathan

I recently installed the update to RoboHelp HTML 11, which was supposed to fix a lot of problems with Responsive HTML 5 output issues. However, a new issue has just cropped up out of nowhere and I have no idea why it's happening.When I generate Responsive HTML 5 output for my help system, the following items are missing from the screen in the browser:- The vertical separator bar that separates the TOC from the help content window- All the "hover" buttons (the dark versions of the TOC, Search, Glossary, Home, and Print buttons that appear when you hover over them or when that page is selected)Also, the Show/Hide button is visible (even though the separator bar is not), but it does not function at all.The output was generating just fine, with no such problems, until just a couple of days ago. This struck out of nowhere. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this or how to fix it?Thanks!Tim Huddleston

I'm using RH 11, and some of our programmers have decided that they want me to produce CHMs for their programs rather than WebHelp.  When I generate MS HTML Help, I get the TOC and Index in the Help just fine, but none of the content displays.  This is true of any MS HTML Help I generate, so I know it's some mistake or setting I'm missing.Any clues?Thank you!

Hi,TCS5, so FM 12 and RH11. I have successfully applied some conditional build tags by turning off the apply conditional build tag setting and using the Conditional Build Expression in the WebHelp properties instead.In RoboHelp, everything looks correct.  I generate WebHelp and suddenly, a div tag is wrapped around the inline image in the paragraph that followed the text marked conditional. This did not happen with TCS 4 (FM11, RH10).  I am not sure why this div tag is applied only when I generate the help.  Any thoughts on what to check?Lauren

Hello. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 9.0.2.271. When opening a certain RH project (I have three that I access regularly), the project opens fine, but when I try to open any of the topic files, RH hangs/crashes. I can perform any other tasks in the project (generating, publishing, updating the browse sequence, etc.), but I can't open any .htm files. In trying to fix this problem, I have:Updated from 9.0 to first 9.0.1 then 9.0.2Renamed the .cpd file Imported one of the topics in the crashing project to a project that isn't crashing Updating and renaming the .cpd file didn't work and importing the topic into a healthy project allowed the topic to open (so the topic doesn't seem corrupt).

My Next and Back navigation arrows have inexplicably disappeared from the Responsive Layout in RoboHelp 11 HTML.  I found many nav bar-related topics on these forums, but could not find one that was similar to this issue I am experiencing.  I'm not sure what I may have done, as it seems like this could only be the result of manually or purposefully removing them.

We've been fighting with figuring out the firewall rules to permit installation of RoboHELP HTML 11. I have a valid serial number.  The problem is that when I input the serial number and click the Submit button, the button changes to a "spinning circle" for a while, then displays a message that reads, "Please connect to the Internet and retry. If you choose to conenct later, you will have 30 days to validate your serial number otherwise your software will stop working. If this computer cannot access the Internet, get more details at  http://www.adobe.com/go/getactivated using an Internet enabled device."At that URL, I am prompted to submit a request code and the serial number. My reaction: What is a request code and how do I get one so that I can obtain a response code and complete my installation, SEVEN WEEKS after I got the serial number.Apparently generating the response code requires that I install a Provisioning tool on my computer. Tried generating a response code by go

RoboHelp10, SharePoint 2013Hello,We would like to explore the possibility of publishing our legacy RH10 webhelp to SharePoint 2013, either as webhelp or as HTML5 / native SharePoint ASPX.Can anyone confirm whether RH10 is compatible with SharePoint 2013, or whether we need to upgrade to RH11 to accomplish this?

All-I've found that the tab groups (in my case "vertical" tab groups) that I set in a RH project/session aren't being remembered. When I close and reopen a project, I have to reset my tab groups. Is there a way to make tab groups re-appear according to how they were last configured?(I could be wrong, but it seems to me I've only had this problem recently. Perhaps I unchecked a "remember' setting?!)Thanks!_Kurt

I'm trying to create a link to a PDF that I have added to a baggage file in RoboHelp 9. I drag and drop the baggage file into my help topic, but when I generate the help file (WebHelp) the link doesn't work. It doesn't seem to be related to security settings on my computer in IE11, since I tried it out on other computers and it doesn't work there either. I'd really appreciate some help in figuring out what I'm doing wrong, since I'd like to link to several PDFs in my help project and open them in a new window.Thanks,Sally C.

The help says the General tab includes an option to clear project cache before opening a project.  I don't see it on the General tab under Project Settings.  Please help me find the option.

Hi,What would cause all images in all CHMs in all projects to suddenly break? All the images in any CHM on my computer are broken, and they were fine last week. They're also broken for my colleagues who view the files on their computers. I'm using RH 10 with Windows 7 Enterprise, and nothing has changed on my computer that I know of (although the network could have pushed something to it).Thanks,Beth P.

Experts:1. I have defined an image style which looks like this in the image style editor:2. I applied the style to an image. As expected, in the WSIWYG editor, the image is intented 1.75in":The code (for this simple page, which happens to be a master page, but I find the issue on regular pages too) looks like this:3. HOWEVER, in preview mode, and in the WebHelp output, the graphic is flat against the right edge:Is something being overwritten somewhere? Or, perhaps I don't understand what a "class" is?Thanks!Kurt

I'm using RH 9.0.2.271.The Background: We have a large help system (approx 2200 topics) that we have to generate into PDFs one per chapter. We also need to do this in various target languages as well once we get them back from our localization department. So, I created an SSL per chapter in our English project (38 in total), and each SSL is setup to output a single PDF:The idea is use RH's batch generate, and have all 38 PDFs get generated. We then bundle them up into a zip and provide them to our customers. It works great in the English. We sent our English RH project off for localization and the translators translated the necessary files.About SSL and printdoclayout.xml Files: I've looked into the SSL files in a text editor, and the SSL files for printed outputs do not specify themselves what gets sent to the .doc or .pdf. Instead, when you create the SSL, RH also creates a unique xml file with this name printdoclayout(n).xml, where n is a number that increments for each additional p

Hi all,RH version: 11.0.0.179SSL: Multiscreen HTML5 - Desktop screen profile onlyIE version: 9Is there a built-in widget/thing to add a button to a topic to hide the search highlighting? To be clear, I want the search highlight on, but I want users to be able to turn it off once they have found the topic they need. I've done a little searching in the help and online, so I suspect there isn't, but want to make sure.If there isn't a built-in function, does anyone know if there is a way to add my own button/javascript? I can read other's code and do a little bit of scripting, but only really basic stuff.Thanks for your help

Robohelp 7 Webhelp output does not run on Chrome.I have already tried the available code snippet solution by inserting it in the whevr.js file. This is the only solution available on internet for this problem. Please suggest if some other solution exists.

I converted a project from RoboHelp 9 to 11, and discovered that several of my topics were changed.  Most of the changes were minor, e.g. spacing, bold type, bullets, etc., but I'm still having to go through each page, to make corrections.  Oftentimes, the "problems" don't show up until I View the topic, but up to this point I've been able to fix them.  However, one topic looks fine in Design view, but when I open it in View, almost all of the text is gone.  I've tried retyping portions, to see if it reappeared, but not all of it does.  Do you have any idea what is happening and how I fix it?

I'm doing some exploring to see if I can display SharePoint content in IFrames. Success! I can view Word files saved as HTML pages and view it in IFrames.But then I decided to see if I can identify keyboards in the IFrame with a search. Alas, my plan falls flat.I suspect the answer is no, but I hope to be proven wrong. Can I somehow search for text that shows up in an IFrame?

Product: RoboHelp 11 (TCS 5)Menu location: Review > Create PDF for ReviewIssue: The default output from the menu location results in output that is unusable: e.g., styles aren't mapping correctly, making the document difficult to read and review. Is there a default print layout or some other control available?Ultimate objectives: Track changes, perform shared reviews, import comments from the generated PDF, and so forth.Secondary questions: Can I import comments/markup from a shared review if I generated the PDF using the print layout, instead of the Review > Create PDF for Review menu option? If so, will I then be able to manage comments from the Review pane and perform other related-reviewing functions?

RoboHelp10 freezes when open or create a project.  I have been working around this, but can no longer do that.I need to rename one topic within a project and cannot do that because of it freezing.I uninstalled and re-installed RoboHelp 10 this morning and it didn't make any difference.I'm using RoboHelp HTML on a Windows 7 OS.Thanks,Diane
