RoboHelp

I'm running RH10 integrated with TFS for source control. I can check out projects and files just fine, but when I modify a file in RH and save, I get the following:This happens every time I save a file and I believe this same issue is causing problems with what's being checked back into TFS. Other users see versions of the file that are different from the one I check in. That is to say, the changes I make prior to check in may or  may not appear to users who check out the file after me.

Note: I am relatively new to RoboHelp: formerly a contract writer, a senior staff member used my content when creating Help.  She's left, and now I am using the tools she set up on RoboHelp to write and create both local and remote (online) versions of Help content. Have created online versions successfully for several products. Local has been more problematic. Using RoboHelp 10; for the past 2 days, tyring to generate local help using WebHelp to chm Converter which uses Webhelp for chm ssl provided by my predicessor.  Files generate successfully and I can open and view them. When added to the application, however, they do not open. We're trying to RTM, but gated behind getting a working local help.  Investigations:Opened older files (ones that predate me), generated local help, installed chm into current application.  Opened, but did not include the skin. (Is that normal? Can I have the skin in local help?)Checked current Webhelp for chm ssl against older ones -- o

Experts-I see that one way to share all topics with another RH user is to open the Topics List pod, select all topics, then drag the lot to Resource Manager (eg, the Dropbox folder therein). Is there a way to add images and other non-topic files in a similar way, or do I need to dive into each directory in project files, then select-drag the files to Dropbox?Is there a way to configure RH such that all new files that are added to a project are automatically copied to Resource Manager so one doesn't have to remember to do this manually?Is there a way to share resources other than files in the Project Files folder, such as TOC definitions, Index defs, Glossary defs, and the single-source layouts? I see that I can't drag these items to the Dropbox folder. The idea is to be able to have other writers  recreate the project on there systems. (Perhaps I'm missing the purpose of Resource Manager. Perhaps duplication of entire projects is best performed using a CMS.)Thanks!-Kurt

Is there a way of permanently hiding the left hand navigation pane so that it looks less like a help system?I am trying to find a way of producing a simple 3 topic project to act as a small support site for a new product. my employer doesn't have the resources to build a product website with integrated support area so I am looking into using RH and webhelp instead as I'm used to using it for creating help.

Hi There, The company I work for have a specific word document format that I must use when producing documentation, this consists of several heading styles that require fill colours behind white text. The problem I have is when I generate my printed output to Word, the coloured heading on page two for example leaks over to the end of the paragraph on page one. I have ‘start new topic on each page’ selected but I can’t find anything else to clear the problem. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Any help is much appreciated. Many thanks!

Has anybody else had this problem? It seems that RoboHelp (version 7) applied the Conditional Build Tag on its own to various topics. Is there anything I can do to prevent that in the future?

How do I remove the Glossary tab from Microsoft HTML Help layout? Using RoboHelp 11Thanks.

I produce WebHep using RH 10 (tho I'll be updating to RH11 in a day or two). I've been asked to research a question and I hope you folks can help. I document a platform that has recently incorporated functionality to support accessibitiy. The user can select colors and font sizes. The accessibility settings are set per computer per site in cookies. Is there a way to change font size in a generated WebHelp file? I am almost certain that it can't be done, and  I am sure that implementing this is way above my pay grade, but I would like to know if it's possible. For example, if a user sets the font size to X, the font size in the generate help file updates to X. Thanks for your help. Jenny

I am using a trial of RH11 to investigate upgrading from RH9. We currently produce WebHelp but we're also thinking about trying Responsive HTML5 output since our application runs in IE and also Safari on iPad (the Webhelp on iPad, even that produced in RH11, has some issues with parts of the search tab being cut off from display...thus the thought to try Responsive ouput). In the trial output of Responsive HTML5 used in IE, we experience delays anywhere from 3 to 5 sec up to 20 sec sometimes (usually less than 10 sec) as we use the interface. For example, when help first opens up and begins to display its content and interface components, there can be pauses until the content is finally displayed in the browser. Another noticeable delay time is anytime we happen to adjust our browser size on our desktops -- for example, maximize or downsize browser to fill up various amounts of the desktop screen so that we can see how the help layout adjusts itself given the amount of browser space av

Hello everybody,It seems I have some problems with custom HTML5 Responsive Layouts in RoboHelp 11.My colleage customized a HTML5 Responsive Layout and sent me the slz file so that I can import the layout in my project. This worked out fine. Unfortunately I am not able to open or edit this layout and only receive a "[file] contains invalid data" message. I remember that I saw this message earlier when customizing a layout myself and trying to re-open it for editing.Does anyone know what might be the problem?

I have a RH10 project that contains several pdf links in chm, webhelp, multiscreen, and epub outputs. I have a technical question... Do I store the pdfs in a folder called "pdfs" in the main directory. no folder in main directory, or in the same folder as the topic in which its referenced? If the later, this may mean the pdf is in several places.

The title of this post is self-explanatory. The pod just simply will not open. All my filters are checked in the Project Manager pod - don't know if that makes a difference in this case though. Something I'm doing wrong, or not doing?

How can I create a Java help file (*.hs)?

Hello,I want to import a large Word-File into RH 11.In Word i use a lot of lists with propper style templates.Rh does natively convert them into lists but makes paragraphs from it with a bullet in front and a few blank spaces ->not what I expect.Removing the bullet signs in Word, importing then and setting the format styles as a list with bullets in front during RH import> RH shows that the paragraph has the correct style. But the bullets are not shown in the importet topics, the topic is still a html paragraph, no list. When I reassign the style to the paragraph manually, it works. But that cant be a sollution for 2000 Word-Pages...Sample:This is how it comes out out import:<p class="BESAufzaehlung">Einige häufig benutzte Befehle lassen sich sehr schnell mit einer Tastenkombination<a name="IX_Tastenkombination_1" id="IX_Tastenkombination_1"></a> ausführen, z.B. die Tasten <span class="Tastenkombination">Strg + C</span> für Kopieren von z

We have been experiencing that the Save All icon does not save everything that is open in RoboHelp 11.  This mainly happens with our main page which contains several DHTML dropdown hotspots.  You have to go to that screen and then save it. 

Hi,We have been using RoboHelp for quite a while, at least since before Adobe bought it. On our Welcome page we have the following copyright notice:"The following copyright applies to all Blue Sky Redistributables provided with thisHelp System: Portions copyright © Blue Sky Software Corporation.

We're not seeing any information in our server CSH reports at all. They're completely blank. Our context sensitive help calls work just fine: we have 100+ mapIDs and they're called properly when the user presses F1 and the correct help topic appears. It's simply that the CSH reports on the server are always blank. All other server reporting works fine.Any ideas?

Since RoboHelp 11, .mdb files don't seem to be recognized with SharePoint version control. Note that we have ensured the file type is allowed in SharePoint.Lauching RoboHelp in Admin mode does not help.Note that this was working under RoboHelp 10.

I am using Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4. I author in FrameMaker 11, then link the FrameMaker books to RoboHelp HTML (RoboHelp 10) to single-source WebHelp output. The WebHelp is attached to our software product. In FrameMaker, to add a context-sensitive Help marker, I “apply the CSH marker”, which is really my Map ID. I "Update All" whenever I make changes. Then I generate WebHelp.I am finding that I must modify my whcshdata.js file each time I generate the WebHelp. In multiple (but not all) statements of whcshdata.js, I must change the number at the end of a statement (see below).As one example, for CSH marker OS14, the statement was:SetCsh(18,"OS14",12,"MN_User/MN_User_A_Organization_Settings/Notifications.htm#CSH_23");Now I have to change it to:SetCsh(18,"OS14",12,"MN_User/MN_User_A_Organization_Settings/Notifications.htm#CSH_22");Is there an automated way to fix this issue? In RoboHelp, do I need to edit the Map IDs to correspond with their designated topics, and will that

Is it possible to create keyboard shortcuts in RoboHelp? Can they be assigned to styles? Is it possible to create macros that work within RoboHelp? And use shortcut keys to run them?:disgust;

My Flash Player will not install.  I have first disabled my security firewall, then added adobe to exceptions.  What is wrong?

Dear community,when I export my RH project to word, RH generates for each chapter (that has any subchapters) an additional subchapter with the same heading as the chapter above. In the project as in the chm export, the chapter does have content (as I want). But not in the word export.Here the chapter is empty,its content is put into that new subchapter. Got me? You can see what is happening in the export dialog.So whats happening there, what do I wrong?Thanks for your support!

I use RoboHelp HTML 10 to update existing topics and create new topics in several WebHelp projects. I would like to quickly generate a PDF file from a single topic so I can send the PDF file for review. When I select a topic from the table of contents and create a PDF, tables often break between two pages. Is there an HTML tag that can be added to a topic that will create a page break when the Help topic is published as a PDF file?  

We are converting XML files from Arbortext to RoboHelp. Does anyone know how to conver the files? We would like to import or convert the files and remove the XML code Arbortext automatically adds to the files.Thanks! Sandy
